Post pics of your cooling setups. Air, Water and Extreme setups welcome!

... -_^ They made a kit loop with both aluminum and copper components??? ...I think the worst part is that I'm not really that surprised..it is TT after all.

Let's not point fingers. The new cooler kit I got from the vaunted towers of Corsair is the same way.

Koolance also does mixed loops

There is no "perfect loop." Merely one better than the last time.

to true... if the MCR420 had been out at the time i started water cooling i would have a nice 4x4 setup instead of the current 3x3.

Here is an old pic that I dug up from Project: LEXA

In there I have a Intel Q6600 cooled by a Swiftech Apogee GTX and an Nvidia 8800GTX cooled by a Swiftech MCW-60 waterblock running through 1/2" tubing and 1x 240mm radiator (floor) and a 120mm radiator (back).

This mod would be around about 3 years old with the hardware border lining 4 years. Well the mod did outlive the hardware, LEXA is currently dead, well the mobo or PSU is anyway, got hit with a power surge I think. The good news is that insurance will pay out $1000 for the dead PC an I can salvage what I can and start again later this year.

WOO HOO!!!

That sucks about the dead hardware, but awesome news about the insurance! You could build a very nice system for $1000.

how does one go about getting computer insurance?

[x88x]

I'm guessing it was renter's insurance or from the UPS/surge protector company?

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nope, home and contents insurance, that covers accidents and breakage. I could just pierce one of the hoses in my WC loop and say it shorted and fried. Dad insured my PC for $3000 (monitors and all) and after depreciation I should get just under $1000.

For $1200 AUD I can build a new i7 rig minus the GPU, I will use my 8800GTX for starters before upgrading.

I was going to do another LEXA mod, I really do love the chassis but this time I think I am going to go for something a little bit larger and more elegant.
