Hi Guys,
I've been doing some reading up on Watercooling and whilst there are plenty of 'guides' it still isn't very clear, with there being different sizes/types of tubing etc and information on how exactly to piece a loop of components together isn't well covered either.
So for...
got mine but Steam won't let me install it, tw*ts lol.
I also didn't get my free Blu-Ray as HMV took it off the PC orders and made it only available to 360/PS3 orders.
I think what I've currently got is a stacker ( an nVidia special edition) and the 800D is taller but pretty much the same otherwise. But yeah, if I stand any chance of going watercooled it looks like the best option from the current choice.
tbh I'm thinking a 360 rad in the top and start off with CPU cooling atleast. Otherwise I'll get the H70. I'm essentially now waiting for the 6000 series GPUs to be released before purchasing, but I may buy the 800D soon and start fitting watercooling components to it so I can start to learn/test.
tbh mate that's probably what I'm going to end up with. The Corsair H50 is already on my list and I don't think I'll have the balls to try putting a watercooling block on a brand new £500 GPU (especially having never done it before).
I think I'm going to go for the Corsair 800D and aim for something similar to one of these:
The 800D has bags of space which gives lots of potential, its also got excellent cable management and doesn't force a colour scheme so I'm free to choose (unlike some cases)
I got my Incase clear snap case today as well, seems pretty good, better than the bumper. Personally, I think the screen doesn't need any protection, I find them impossible to scratch (unless your a f**wit ;) )
I was almost ready to order the one I posted above tbh, but since finding that and the forum its on I'm going to look around for inspiration and re-consider going down the watercooling route.
Yeah the Logitech G25 is regarded as one of the best wheels and can be played on both PC and PS3 (not Xbox 360 though!) I don't know if it can be bought new anymore, otherwise the new version is the G27:

I've had a couple of close calls, most memorable @ Goodwood when the phone completely left my hand over concrete but I managed to catch it (it wasn't in a case/bumper or anything!)
£600 phone, no insurance.
