I kinda fell into a rather sweet deal on a desktop gaming rig and i'm quite happy with the resulting combo purchase/trade. My best buddy picked it up while on a little road trip looking for a new vid card and power supply. The fella they were buying from is a Dr. in St John NB (a city about 1 1/2 hrs away from me) and he was moving to Victoria BC (across the country.... Canada
) and was getting rid of tons of stuff to lighten the load for the move. The end result of some of the "stuff" is as follows >>>>>>>
IKONIK Ra X10 14-Bay Liquid Cooled Full Tower Window Computer Case

Unless it comes with one, get yourself an after-market CPU cooler. The default coolers for those are awful. Plus, those chips are very easy to overclock.
Desperate moving sales are always great for slick deals.

Was kinda wondering about that Abram. Its got an OEM cooler/pump/rad assembly by IKONIK and I can't find anything about maintenance for it. I'm not especially knowledgeable about liquid cooling so any info/expertise would be greatly appreciated.

Oh i didn't notice that. Nice. Here's a bit of info on the fluid and the care taken.

As you may guess, there's tons of info from experienced water-cooling users out there.
I've always eyeballed a liquid cooling setup, but I've been to lazy/cheap to tale the dive and get myself a quality rad/tubes/pump/etc.
