I have no idea what this means for the welfare of my PC once installed, but I need to know, for those who've used or know more about water cooling, if the water tank/reservoir required is relatively small (ie. fits into a small room), and where the coolers will be installed ie. on the CPU, GPU, but is there a need for anywhere else?
I'm asking this as the two additional fans I have on the case produce the loudest noise, and I want to get rid of these as well.
Finally, a thing about Peltier devices - I've heard about it can channel heat so that it's very hot on one side, and cool on the other - where does this heat go without boiling the PC - would a water cooler be a good thing to use next to the Peltier device?
I hope someone can help.

ARGH! MANDRAKE DIE DIE DIE NUKE GO TO HELL
As you can see I have a slight dislike for Mandrake. I'm using CD2 as a coaster right now actually. Mmm.. English Breakfast....

Guess what i actually agree with Turbo on this one, i tried this Acoustic damping material and although it did dampen the noise quiet a bit it also made the cpu and case heat go up by about 11 degrees so then i needed to put more fans in which made the system sound louder than it did before :(, this is why i chose WATER COOLING wooo hooo
c.b.
SuSe 8.0 or whatever it is now :) looks very cool, might give it a go after i've settled in with Debian (if I ever get it running :D )
a little image of TUX
and a Debian Logo
I might get the little SuSe thingy, little lizard or whatever it is
A) because it's cool
B) because I want to try SuSe and it wouldn't be the same without the PC badge
C) because it's green :)
