I've been playing around with some variations of this water-cooled rig, and I was wondering from all you water-cooled people out there, hows it look?
Case (Water Cooling Pre-Installed): Thermaltake Armor LCS - Liquid Cooled System: http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-armor-lcs-ve2000bws.html
Mobo: EVGA 680i SLI: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813188013
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz (would be massively overclocked): http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819115029
GPU: EVGA 8600GTS 256MB: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814130084
RAM: Corsair XMS2 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400): http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820145034
PSU: OCZ ATX12V 600W: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817341001
HDD: WD 250GB 7200 RPM: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822144701
DVD: LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16827106057
Monitor: Acer 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16824009094
GPU Cooling System: Thermaltake Liquid Cooling VGA Waterblock: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16835106059
GPU Ram Heatsinks: ZALMAN VGA RAM Heatsinks: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16835118220
Keyboard: Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16823126179
Mouse: Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104191
Wireless Card: EDIMAX PCI Wireless Card Up to 54Mbps: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16833315041
Other than how this machine would run, is the 680i and the E6750 both good OCing hardware?
Would I need more or better RAM?
I'm mostly exploring this because if the offer arises to sell my current newly-built computer (people say I'm crazy for wanting more) then I might consider this build.
