Well, the water-cooling products are pretty well tested these days. It really
is a great way to silently cool a standard (i.e. hot) PC. My main front-end
is a water-cooled custom built packed into an HTPC case. It works great, but
is not exactly cheap... I went with the Zalman reserator 2, which looks nice
next to the rest of the theater components, but it cost me about $250.
If I had to do it over, I would go with the mac-mini. I didn't know about it
and the other fanless options at the time, but I am still pleased with the
results if not the price.
