zxian - ya i wish i had the p182, but i only have the original p180, they have made soo many impovements! i want to go water with the next computer i get, hopefully sometime this year. brando - what case are you looking at? the Thermaltake Tai Chi? im seeing it for ~400$ w/ water. the water cooling components that is uses isnt that good. the petratech kit is AMAZING. most kits suck but petra but together a kit of the best of the best. what gfx card do you have? that is high for idle. my 7800gt doesnt even reach that at load. i also have a nice heatsink on that. for the cpu, i have a scythe ninja keeping my proc around 30C idle, its about 40$. there are better heatsink but they are about 60$ with only a few degrees difference. you hdds are high also, only thing to do for them is to get air going by them. i have a fan in front of mine and they stay below 30C. the northbridges can take alot of heat so i wouldnt worry about it too mcuh for the mobo, just get air going onto it, thats about it.
