    Watercooling has definitely been more popular in Europe than the USA for years..
    Maybe that's because americans have usually a weak PC and a Next(ok nothing next about it) Gen Console (Don't need to upgrade these) Just heard it in the NoobToob Gaming Podcast from NoobToob.Com , don't know if it's true.

    What components do you exactly need for those, and how much $ should it cost at least to be silent, and what to be effective? Just curious^^

    At a minimum, a cpu waterblock, gpu waterblock, water pump, radiator, tubing, 120mm fans, and a fan controller. You don't *need* a reservoir, but it makes it much easier. The key for silence and good cooling is the largest radiator you can buy (either afford or fit inside/outside your case), and some anti-vibration pad/gel for your water pump. There are various price levels for all of these components.. and the radiator (4x120mm) will likely be the most expensive. The Feser TFC X-changer 480 (4x120mm fans) that I bought was $169 without the fans at petrastechshop.com. Smaller radiators will require higher rpm fans to do the same amount of cooling, and this is where noise comes in. As for choosing a radiator model, you want lower fins per inch, so lower rpm fans perform well - this is what makes the Feser TFC radiators work so well with lower rpm fans. The 2x120mm Feser is around $100-110.

    Definitely going to 4-box Diablo 3 after testing the beta for how well this would work.

    There are some really nice oil/tranny coolers for race use that have threaded fittings and mounts for 12vdc fans. Companies like spearco and griffin make all shapes and sizes for crazy water cooling desires.

    I swear some of these water cooling radiators I see are just overpriced heater cores.
