I saw the disco ball and died. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

cant imagine those huge fans pull enough air though. but actually cool idea. would have loved to see the original fan on there even though that would mean jet engine noise

Screw the radiator, the disco ball is the star of the show!

Old School watercooling. Motorcycle rads were used for the early watercoolers.

That'll damage the rad irreparably over time.

nope that is an aluminum radiator with plastic tanks. but not to fear, a simple

anti-corrosive additive and no worries.

yeah but last I remember over time it'll still cause a reaction w/ the other metals in the loop ie if the cpu block is copper, but again depends on which fluid is being used to cool and which anti-corrosive

depending on what/how much anti-corrosive is used from 3-10years.

most move to a conventional antifreeze (has the corrosion inhibitors) for a coolant.

again, not a big thing as with automobiles the temperatures (and pressure) are

factors in the galvanic corrosion as where the PC cooling system is not as "heated"

as the automobile system. it really isn't a big deal.

Oooh. I've got an old 190 merc radiator in my basement somewhere. Might have to look into this sometime xD
