Geek Supreme: I have the biggest CPU fan you have EVER seen

I love my Windows Media Center (which is running Vista RTM build btw!)    2 big problems though:

  • Adhering to my strict 'minimalist' look - I want the damn thing SILENT and hidden away.   I bought this awesome TV unit which is soundtight, etc.   but then the MCE overheated within 15 mins!
  • It had 512mb RAM ... no can do for a sexy sleek AERO experience.

 

So I finally whipped out the Amex - and got the BIGGEST, MEANEST watercooling CPU solution I could.   OBSERVE my MCE metamorphosis from overheating,  crawling, pile of bits.   To my 2 GIG RAM,  SUPERCOOLED,  SNIPER-SILENT ... MONSTER! :)    Isn't she pretty :)

 

(BTW:   It's the Nautilus 500 ... and took my 2 hours to build into my casing which is smaller than standard casings.   I am becoming scarily proficient at drills and other brutely DIY stuffs.)
