Is that JJ's latest blingtastic piece for his "race" car? A polarizer perhaps?

You mean the Flux Capacitor?
Why the fans if you have a water cooler?

You can never keep the MoBo and ram cold enough when really pushing things..and the Ultra 8800 gtx gets very hot..Ive ordered a gpu water block from the states...it will go under water as well..

the 'Y' tube looks early 70's.....
Other than that, 5 fans, three feet of water cooling, and heat piping, and raising voltage to your processor all seems like overkill for a non SLI board (or is it??)
Little secret for good cooling system contact is aluminum antiseize stuff we use on our cars....just don't get it on your board

P,All the stuff for computers is riced!! You have to choose the quality and most of all, the functionality very carefully these days..
As with the motor game-"All that glitters is not gold!"
