Hi everyone!
First things first I should explain that I am not currently doing a 'build', so to speak, I am in the process of setting up a nice home network that will serve just about every room in the house with access to a media server and gaming rig.
I am looking for advice on putting together a set of components to squeeze into a 3U/4U case and be able to stay cool. I have built systems at work to go into a rack, but never had to worry about them overheating, as they are usually in a temperature controlled environment.
Is water cooling a bit overkill? What luck have people had with conventional coolers in the these conditions?
Thanks!
