Water Cooling for dual slot video card
I'm conisering a full water cooling system (GPU, CPU, Northbridge, and HDD), and was wondering if it is even possible, nevermind if I would be able to remove the double slot cooling on the X1800XT. Is it feasable to install a waterblock on those big things? And how would I go about doing it. Sry, I've never had watercooling experience before... Thanks.

i think you'd just need to find a nice kit from somewhere, and a water block that fits the X1800XT, and that would be it, and i don't think you can water cool your hdd.

why would you water cool your hdd? seriously... and that block for the hdd sticks to the sides of the hdd, whereas all the heat is on the top of the hdd.... pointless.

I'm not really worried about that. I'm going to take all my fans out and have a nearly silent PC, and I want everything to be cooled. But does anyone know how to remove the X1800XT cooling?
