Air cooling is quickly reaching it's limits. With CPUs getting faster and hotter, it's no surprise more people are looking towards liquid cooling. In most cases, installing liquid cooling can be a daunting task, but more manufacturers are making it easy for beginners. Such is the case with Swiftech's solution, but the question is, how does it perform?
"One of the solutions to this problem is water cooling. While providing a much better method of removing heat from your processor, motherboard chipset and video card, there is also the danger of a leak turning your computer into a boat anchor that an 8086 would be proud of. This risk can, of course, be minimized with care."

Am I blind or does the article say anything about noiselevel. Uhm a watercooled case with 5 fans? (front, side and 2 on radiator + psu fan and even gfxfan) actually 6 :-)
I am primarily interested in watercooling for low noise and this wasn't giving me the info I want. Please update the story ( or add it here) with at least a subjective impression of the noiselevel

CLipped from the 1st page of the review:
"Total noise level is approximately 34 dBA, whereas flow through the case is 110 CFM intake, and 110 CFM"
(the sentence was cut off in the review)
