Some of you (if you don't have your own domain and SMTP, POP3 servers) - like us freebie fanatics like me, probably have Google Mail, or gmail as they like to call it.

The quest for liquid cooling

Well, I have decided to embark on the long expensive road of liquid cooling for a PC. I'm thinking of a Koolance EXOS-2.5 cooling system which is an external unit that fits on top of the case, and an all-acrylic case with a decent power supply and some components that run hot, though I am not quite sure what I should put in it at this point. I'll blog ya later when I've done some research on this, but Intel's new motherboards look promising, though I'm not sure the new ones support SLI??? I know… Continue
