I need some help with this. I'm trying to look for a Liquid cooling solution for my computer (I'm also getting a new X-Plorer which will have a 120mm rear fan slot.

however, I must be frank and explain a few things.

First off, if at all possible, it should be able to take care of the CPU and the northbridge and maybe even the Dual GPUs and Hard drives. I might be able to get away with the Thermaltake Tide water SLI edition for the GPUs, but that still leaves the other stuff. The cooling of the CPU is a must. (the not-so-old Zalman will be used on my GF's PC), the Northbridge is a 2nd priority, and the hard drive, well... more for looks and as a demonstration than anything (see the case's secondary use below)

Also, it must be INTERNAL, or at least somewhat portable (sorry, but the Zalman Reserator won't work with this at all. Powerfull it may be, but its a pain to carry, especially full of water). This is due to this computers secondary usage: It may be also find itself being used at work to help promote sales of high-dollar equipment (espcially when we have open house).

so uh, what do you thin would work the best? I don't neccessarily need it for overclocking, Like I said, its mostly for show. Also, I need this setup because I plan on giving my girlfriend the Zalman Heatsink I have in mine. (See my other post, Computer for GF (and yes I'll actually do it this time)

I have looked into liquid cooling before, but I havent tried it yet. If you have enough room in your case, this might be a good unit:

And this one is external, but it looks like it has a bag for carrying it around so it should be portable aswell:

Good luck!

I'd advise going through newegg and getting the 3 year extended warranty for water damage if you were to do this.

I also plan on using the FLUID XP PLUS water alternative as a coolant too. Not only because of its long shelf life, but because of its resistance to electricity. its the only so called non conductive coolant thats been PROVEN to not fry your computer when a little bit (or even, a LOT) of it leaks onto your system
