Expensive cooling systems

GRToni · 01-25-2006, 03:22 PM

Im think of buying a new comp lately and a saw some really awsome cooling stuff.
However they were a bit more expensive than i was expecting. A case i like costs like $440 (Thermaltake).
Are those cool cooling systems worth their money or they just make your comp more good looking?
Im willing to spend about $2000 for the whole package(monitor included) by the way.
Should i get the thermaltake thing or leave it for another time?

Can you post a link to the thing you're talking about? Is it just a case, or has it got an integrated cooling system in it?

I've seen systems that can shill the CPU into the negative values. A P4 was once overcloked above 5Ghz using one of them. Downside? They cost a few THOUSAND dollars.
