thanks for reading this everyone...and for your input and opinions...

my intention was to post this thread about case mods....but since i was writing a paper about water cooling a CPU [which happens to be considered a case mod], that came out as the thread title....

if you haven't checked out the case mods that have nothing to do with water cooling......check these out......some of these are absolutely fantastic!
