Just ordered the first and main component I need to watercool my computer, the waterblock. Decided to go with the Z4 from Overclockers Hideout mainly because they have the option of getting P4 mounting hardware. If for some reason the P4 starts kicking AMD ass I'll get that, but for now AMD is the performance champ so that's what I have.

Next up is a pump and a heatcore ...

Earlier this morning my mom came upstairs saying I had been issued a subpeona. At first I thought of all the bad things I've done thinking I was in trouble for something ... turns out it's jury duty, not much better ><

Turns out that even if the case that I've been assigned to is cancelled I can be assigned to different ones within the 60 days I have jury duty o.O

Just hope I get a cool case to be on ... c'mon OJ case ... I wanna write a book $$$

Now I'm off to bed about 3 hours earlier than I have been recently because I have to add/drop some classes so I have a full schedule ... and so ... the grind of school begins [insert ominous sounding music here]

Well water cooling the computer will have to be put on hold for another month. I talked with one of the guys from the place I was planning on getting the waterblock from. It seems that in a month they're getting some blocks that have 1/2" fittings instead of 3/8" ... bigger is better ;)

In any event I'm going to the store tomorrow to see how much a water pump will cost as opposed to ordering one online. I'll probably stop by the auto store too and scope out their heater core selection. From what it looks like there will be about $10 plus s/h savings to buy one there than from an online place.

I really just need to keep myself occupied, to much thinking does the mind no good.

Well I was banking on work to be closed today ... it didn't. Now I have to attempt to get my car there, it still has half a foot of snow on it including the driveway. Oh boy, this will be fun.

Break from work is coming to an end ... going to bed at 4 and waking up at 12 is gonna be a fun cycle to break. More so because we have actual work to do *gasp*

I'm now leaning towards buying the components for watercooling my computer as opposed to buying it completely done. I like messing with my computer, but I can't seem to find the time to make a waterblock. If all I need to do is install it there might be some hope.

More so because the loud ass air filter I used to have in my room as been replaced by a silent one from Sharper Image. It really is silent, I would suggest everyone getting one ... except for it's price, but I didn't pay for it ;) Now the loudest thing in my room is my computer, if I can get rid of some of the fans in it, I'll be set.
