Water Cooling + LAN Parties = ???

[JohnBonson]

I am considering moving from air to water cooling, one of my reasons for putting it off is that I move my computer around a lot, put it in the car and drive around. i am always as gentle as possible with it but I am worried something bad will happen. Should I just stay with air or can water systems handle a bit of moving around. If so what is there something that is more suitable than others? I am not keen to get a closed loop system as I am also looking to cool my graphics card soon too if possible.

I drive my pc around quite a lot, its got an xs-pc kit on it and I havent had a problem yet. Obviously just make sure the tubes are secured well and you shouldnt have a problem.

i Used to goto lan parties a lot and all ways had water cooled pcs to take to them.

Never had a problem at all just use your common sense.

Starting off with an XSPC RX240 kit is pretty stable isn't it?

depends on how you fit it and what you are using it for. XSPC is the cheaper end of the market but they do what they are supposed to.

I have a BitFenix Colossus and I know the RX240 fits and people have had trouble with other rads, money is not a massive issue, I will keep looking

If you want to be extra safe, you could drain your loop before you drive around and just refill when you arrive.

I used to do this with my compression fitting build, and when i built my LAN comp i used barbs which i find alot more secure.
