Recommended/Best water cooling system for PC

[NotAllThere]

I used to run a mainframe with liquid helium cooling... the great thing about that is you can just pour it in, don't have to worry about shorts.

I've just bought a new PC, not very high spec! for £300. It runs quieter and cooler than my top of the range (4 years ago), and draws less power. About four time faster...

If you run it 24/7 then power savings might pay this new PC back in 12-18 months.

I saw something on the web a while back where a guy converted his PC to use oil cooling... by just dumping the motherboard into a tub of oil! Apparently it worked too...

Seen this before - fantastic idea especially using the radiator.

I think though in the next 10-15 years we are going to see a processing technology that moves away from silicon - using light rather electrons according to what I've been reading.

Isn't that one of the technologies which is always 10 years away? Silicon chips still continue to improve even through we're always "5 years" from the minimum pathway size possible...
