hopefully there will be a follow up story that includes him hiring plumbers (dressed as mario obviously) to fix his leaking pc.

Quite frankly chaps I think he is a terrible representative of the gaming/overclocking community!

and Skyline, no, I don't imagine for one moment that once the cameras switched off the presenter had to be torn away from his crotch either!

Overclocked Orange, hah!

wow all that to play mirrors edge (which he sucks at). could have bought a xbox360 and saved himself a lot of time and money.

i couldn't help but think the same... didn't look much bigger than a 22 inch monitor either..

Problem with these types of articles is that the average public wouldn't read it, is disinterested, or doesnt care. And the people that know about these things (me and you) look at it and think its bull and rip it to pieces.

i love the bit where he talks about not needing as many fans but hes got pretty much the amount of fans you have for aircooling anyway lol bet the reporter was wondering wtf he was on about at that point..

i guess the bbc finally caught up with pcformat who has an article on watercooling around 10 years ago

So true, found it pretty embarrassing tbh. A waste of the TV license, should have spent it on free tea and croissants...

where did they find this bloke anyway. did they see his pc through his bedroom window or summit when they went round to ask him to pay his tv license?

Yeh I did love where he said that otherwise you'd need tons of fans on the front <actually points at the three attached to the radiator> and the back <cut to a shot of the back of his PC with two massive fans sat there>.

Oh wow. I've never heard of this "watercooling" thing before. And overclocking?!?! Wow, that man must be a genius to be able to overclock.
