Well, all those leaky liquid nitrogen containers add a nice touch of "mad science" to one's gaming rig, but what really kills it for me is the necessity to install 2 finnish coolant handling geeks near the processor core.

Besides the fact that they take up too much space in your pc case, they increase the overall noise output of the rig (especially when you decide to play crysis butt-naked at 3am - the distinct groaning and screaming from the coolant handling units was nearly drowning out the gunfire FX) and tend to leave residue near the PC (candy bar wrappers and empty paper cups, mostly).

While it's nice to play Crysis 2 with all the visual options at max at a decent framerate, the downsides far outweigh the experience.

2 out of 5 stars, would not buy again.
However, there's a "two hot finnish geekettes" coolant handling device available from the same manufacturer that offers some improvements, albeit at a steeply increased price. Buyer beware.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

LOL...usualy overclocking your CPU does not do much for your system unless your bus frequency and memmory can be overclocked as well but these are usualy fixed at a certain frequency......:P:P:P
