Introduction:::...
When it comes to computers these days, nobody's satisfied
with second place. The newest CPU, video card, and
hard drive always top lurkers' wishlists, regardless
of price or availability. Enthusiasts, it seems, must
have bottomless pockets or they fall behind. Well,
there are two things that can be done to avoid being
left in the dust: become a consumer whore and upgrade
your entire PC every month OR purchase midrange equipment
and tweak it so it appears to be an expensive powersucking
beast. The traditional method of slapping a big copper
heatsink and jet engine to a CPU works well while
flying jet flight simulators but a loud vaccuum in
the background never added a classy touch to any pleasant
Miles Davis or even Bee Gees material. Alternatives,
such as water cooling, phase change cooling, and fullscale
thermo-electric cooling, are costly, risky, and require
a degree of comprehension and experience before so
much as even considering. Thermaltake came up with
the idea of simplifying the more extravagant methods
of cooling with the SubZero4G and AquariusII cooling
units, with enough power for a geek and simplicity
