But did you note that he's got a cat that does the dishes! I'd like one of those - except make it a dog. Not an overclocked one though.

Not too much time... the guy is just very creative, and know's how to make something work.

It's not uncommon for people who are into Overclocking to do stuff like this.

Overclockers are just as passionate about overclocking as Mac owners are about Macs. :)

Wow, that is awesome.

Hats off to that guy. The amount of work he put in, everything is custom - that is dedication. Wish I could do something like that, I did some case modding when I built my own PCs but nothing even near that!

Great find and post. :)

Probably safer than using liquid nitrogen to cool an overclocked pc.
Yeah, looks like his craftsmanship is pretty good, just don't think I'd go quite that far.

That's a lot of tubing and wires going on there, but it looks very neat. I'm totally jealous of his ingenuity and time. Something that all overclocker's to achieve someday, I'm sure.
