Great review. I dont have a danger den, I bought a koolance exos that I plan on using. However, in the future, I will probably build one piece by piece. One question....is it better to water cool a graphics card than to say, use a aftermarket air cooler? I ask because I know the CPU is the first stop and if that gets hot, I am not so sure how cool it can be when it flows to the GPU.

Definitely water cool the GPU as well!! You will have much better temperatures than with any air heatsink with a decent WC block.

Very nice. I think future cards from nvidia will need cooling for their other chips as well.
