Default Re: a silent air cooled computer project

What do you think about the pump stopping, though.
First it will fry the components.
Second, the water will heat up, expand and blow apart the weekest link so
you'll get a couple of sprinklers inside of a case in no time
I read somewhere that the expansion can be fixed by adding an overflow water
tank. Anyone knows anything about it?
I am getting ready to build a dual core rig and still agonizing about the
cooling
Might go with the latest passive radiator from Zalman just for kicks
