With water cooling, you just have one or 2 slow moving 6 inch fans blowing air through the radiator only.
Mine's a custom setup using a Toyota heater core as the radiator.
(It really is mild compared to some crazies out there though)
I agree, but this included fan is pretty quiet, and the case has 3 ultra-quiet 120mm fans built in. I'll try it out, and if it keeps me awake, I'll snag some water cooling goodness. I'm sure I'll get there eventually, but it's just not necessary at this point.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
