Who needs a water-cooled PC?
Two parts water, one part coolant, and one part guts are all it takes to water-cool your PC. It may seem a little extreme for a garden-variety desktop, but if your CPU runs hot or you've overclocked parts of your system, nothing beats the cooling power of classic H
2O. Water conducts heat far better than air, and you don't have to be a turbogeek to perform the conversion. Modern kits make installation little more challenging than swapping a fan or a heat sink.
