i would not use water cooled. add more case fans, pci slot fans, and a bigger heat sink. water cooled are very prone to leaks.

first off, I wouldent suggest watercooling at all... too great a risk of a soggy computer if you know what I mean. however, if you are so inclined to get a water cooling system, I would have to suggest Fluid XP. It is not top of the line, but it is the right level for most people and it looks really cool too =P.

check it out if really want too. but seriously, dont go watercooling. honestly, my friend lost his entire computer... bye-bye $700. Admittably, he did install it wrong, but still... you get my point.

Skip the water cooler, its for boring conversation, and wasting time at the work place, you can add 80mm, 120mm fans direct to the chassis and jump off of optic drives and achieve the same cooling, without taking a bath, or a swim with unreliable pluming issues. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure this out water and electrical, not compatible.

You really don't need it in a 270 (aside from the major problem of leakage). If you believe that there is too much heat build-up you can add an extra exhaust fan in the back or an intake fan in the front. As long as you are not overclocking one extra fan will do wonders.

The answer of course is get a larger heatsink! Some now are awesome with fluid (sealed) heat removal pipes. You should really look up heat sinks on Yahoo search for one to suit your system. Good luck!

Go into the BIOS and change the boot priority to be CD then hard drive, then it will automaticly boot from a CD when it's inserted. If there is a problem trying to get into the bios, or saving settings in the BIOS, open up the side and remove the CMOS battery (looks like a large watch battery), then put it back in. (cmos removal whipes BIOS settings such as passwords)

If there is a leak - You have a problem
Depends on how much you use the pc. The water sometimes heats up when the computer is on too long.
A conventional fan is just right

I would recommend liquid nitrogen cooling instead. Or, if you are going to put water cooling in, add a couple of goldfish too.
