antec 900 FTW..thats what i got too...i havent felt the need to turn the fans up above low at all though...
i think i leave mine on medium, they are pretty quiet on that level too. i just hate cleaning the dust/cathair off it daily.

My computer is submerged in a non conductive oil that is circulated and cooled by a 4'x4' fin fan heat exchanger.

Depends on what kind of coolant you use.

I've never worried about tubes or the connections, just more on the acrylic tops they put on the water blocks. I had a pump go out and the cpu block top cracked. Nothing leaked out but I cant use it any more.

water cooling is not worth it unless your going to be doing an excessive amount of over clocking and if you are avoid danger den and pre set up kits, petrastechshop is the best place i have found for water cooling stuff. make sure you get a bad *** pump, a good rad and the good flexible tubing and the stuff that you can wrap around the tubing to keep it from kinking up is also amazing. I run 1/2inch tubing(if memory serves, the big stuff) and can bend it around like crazy with out any kinks. Ive found those are the most important aspects, the water blocks are mostly the same, i spent some money on good ones, some crappy ones and then i made a bunch of home made ones and tested them and one was never greatly better than the other as long as you have a good pump and rad. If you get a cruddy pump or rad then your will run into big temperature differences. my next thing is im going to be putting my rad into the freezer of a mini fridge and see how much cooler it gets.

Still waiting on deliver and ordered a gtx 260 a couple days ago.

Its coming with a dual 120mm rad. I'll see what it can do before i get an alummmmiiiinum rad. Brass doesnt excite me.

Eventually I'll have cpu/north & south bridges/ram/volt mofset on one circuit and the gpu's on a seperate one.
