hi spec needed for iraq!!!

i'm after a good spec system.... need everything less monitor, keyboard and mouse...

i'm after a good system for gaming, with plenty of storage, and decent enough for video editing....most importantly it needs to run cool...

i'm hoping to get off to iraq for about a year... granted the place will be air conditioned but still need it to be ready for the heat!!!

Budget is irrelevant...just needs to be cool... will be running on either 22 or 24 inch widescreen monitor...

this is why i need the help.... i'm happy getting a system together myself with just fans... i have never built a water cooled system... this is why i need the help... exactly what will be needed....

cost wont really be too much of an issue on this.... as long as it is not ridiculous.. a few grand is ok though!

Do you really need watercooling though?

In a foreign country.

What if it breaks. Bit difficult to RMA stuff.

Just because you're in a hot country, doesn't automatically mean that you Have to have some form of extreme cooling.

fair point.... just from past experience aircons break down a lot in iraq... and when its 50c outside, it soon gets warm... rma not really an issue... things will just be sent to my uk address....

Why are you going to be needing a gaming rig. in a war zone may I ask? Over there it's actually real life, not COD4 ^^

May be a stupid question as I never been to Iraq, but is dust a problem with aircooling? I suppose it would depend on the accommodation/location?

shouldn't be too much of a problem... accommodation is A Class...
