There are few things in the enthusiast computing world that are as misunderstood and feared as water cooling. When done right, it can be a beautiful addition to a case while keeping temperatures down and noise low.

So there you have it - a basic start to putting an end to those horrible, huge copper monstrosities that everyone calls a heatsink. Carefully drill in an LED, maybe add some UV reactive fluid or hose, and get rid of that ugly thing that weighs more than your little brother. All while enjoying the peace and quiet that only a well-built watercooling rig can have.
