That's not a rant Simon, that's 100% quality info!

I'm personally sitting at the very tame end, with a 1700XP clocked up from
it's native 266 FSB to 333.. enough to shave a good forty minutes off of a
Divx encode, and (of course) return about 12500 on the all important
3DMark.

I do think that the whole performance/overclocking scene is a hobby to be
enjoyed as a past time, rather than a means to the fastest PC around.. I
routinely say to people asking for advice in a professional capacity (I do
support for a living) that the best way to get a really fast PC, is to
*buy*
a really fast PC, just from a reliability point of view..

I have a good reason for watercooling though! It just looks sooooooooo cool
:) especially if you have a fluorescent cooling liquid, and add a couple of
blacklight CCFLs into the case....

Can you tell that, at heart, I'm more of a modder than an overclocker?

My latest project (after Phil providing the catalyst) is a complete liquid
immersion using a non-conductive coolant liquid called Midel 7213... I'm
aiming to have a completely silent totally transparent case full of
"goop"
as my PC. It'll be fun if it works :)

Ian.
