There is only one rad and its pretty large if you watch the video they have on the website its very interesting. Someone put alot of time and thought into this it even has x ring seals to help prevent leakage.

I gotta pull out the dick card and inquire as to your source there, they certainly look like cooling blocks and I haven't seen any real documentation on how their system works yet. If they aren't blocks then what is the point of the return lines from them?

Dang man y the attack and bad language?? Its just general talk and if u look at the vid and look at the 280 with the block thing on it doesnt really apear to be a block thats all i was saying! Its not an inclosed block with two holes in and out. Its got a big opening sending the oil out so it apears that way. I can search it more tho to be sure but ill put my dickcard in my dickwallet!fight8

Dick Cards should only be placed into V-Wallets.

Ok after watching the video I will conclude that the chipsets are all cooled using a cup over a heatsink but the gpu's appear to be some type of block and the cpu block was never shown that I saw.

Tyan motherboard means the quality should be very good but I have my doubts on any overclocking.

I did notice that they were using D5 pumps and that is an excellent example of a cheap pump that can handle pumping the mineral oil, I will likely use the same thing.

All things considered, I would never pay that amount of $$$ for a pc like that but I would build my own.

First time I came across a submerged computer it was at http://www.pugetsystems.com/submerged.php.

Tey even has done some testing, and a short build log. Follow the link for some numbers. It's not impressive, but imensely cool to look at. I've dabbled with the thought of doing a project like this, but have put it on hold indefinately. Also there are other homebrew systems around if you search youtube
