well, i was thinking about it today... and i kinda came to the realization that even if i replace all the various components in my computer bit by bit over time... odds are good at least one thing is going to stay the same, unless i damage it somehow:
so, i decided that when i eventually come into the money for it (in the near-ish future) that id invest in a little more legit case... one thats liquid-cooled, to cut down on my case temps and noise (at least six fans running in it now, its sorta loud :/)
i thought about modding my current case (a Raidmax RX-9 GT) and adding a custom cooling system to it... but to be honest, its already a little beat up, and i dont like it thaaaaat much... plus, i know very little about liquid cooling, and liquid that close to my electronic parts when i dont know whats what... frightened me a bit to install myself... so to mod it, to me, seemed a little silly...
SO my questions for the informed denizens of this forum would be:
do you know of/recommend any pre-made water-cooled cases?
(i would be looking for something preferably mid-tower, glossy black, with a window, and not too boxy...)
or, do you think its possible... and should i mod my current case, and whats the best way to go about doing this?
ill post pics of my current build and the case its in, if thatll help... i think i have room to add a liquid-cooling system, but im not sure...
thanks a lot in advance, guys - RK
