What do you guys make of doing your own mineral oil computer setup? It should be very good for overclocking right?

its not all that good for OC unless you can get that oil moving fast, and that takes some really powerfull fans.
I will say it is a fun mod, just you have to clean it every 3 months to avoid contamination, and thats a bitch, mineral oil is some messy stuff

Ahh... Did not think about having to clean it every 3 months, I mean with water it would not matter but with oil I could see many hours being spent on that.

totally agree i picture oil in f frying pan.... cool mod but not very practical for overclocking use. And think when you have have that new graphics care agn game you want to install your hands are all messy and you so badly want to play that new game

edit: turns out I was wrong about cleaning it every 3 months, i must have been thinking of something else

So looking for a Cheap Laptop for my mothers since shes going back to school. Find myself constantly wanting to get her a Higher end laptop. So i need help in suggestions.
All she will be doing is mainly surfing the web and office programs and may need to use dvd/cd rom drive. Looking to be under 500 but prefer 400 or lower. In other words cheaper the better but I always look for quality as well. Any suggestions for a decent cheap laptop please post

So, I finally got my parts all in and my computer is now back to mint condition. That is, it's a brand new computer, except for the monitor and keyboard/mouse/case.

MB GIGABYTE|GA-X58-USB3 X58 1366 R

VGA EVGA|01G-P3-1366-TR GTX460 SE R

PSU CORSAIR|CMPSU-650TX 650W RT

MEM 2Gx3|KST KHX1333C7D3K3/6GX RT

FLDRV 4G| KST DT101G2/4GBZ R

CPU COOLER CM| RR-B10-212P-G1 RTCore i7-960 3.2GHz LGA 1366

The processor came from microcenter because it was a lot cheaper to get in the store. I believe this is the one: Core i7-960 3.2GHz LGA 1366

and I switched from vista to windows 7! woot. I have been playing rift on Ultra settings with no problem. I'm so happy! haha.
