To my regular readers I apologize about the slow postings, or no postings actually. Got home today from work and spent the last 5 hours building my new computer. For those computer nerds out there here are the specifics:

And it’s screaming fast.
I’ll be back posting my rants soon.
It is, but it works great for an air pusher. And it took me a while to convert to liquid. The cost and the worry about a leak frying the computer made me a bit nervous, but since they’ve introduced non-conductive cooling fluids, it’s a bit less nerve racking. Now if i can just figure out how to hook the hosing up through a ‘fridge or cooler to lower the temps even more…
