I love the Lep Desk. A lot of stupidity in it. But it's still awesome.
But yeah, watercooling can get very expensive very fast. The worst part is that it is always expandable.
On air, you get a heatsink and stick as many fans on it that you can and you're done.
On water... Oh, it's still running a little warm? Let's just go buy another radiator and add it to the loop. If you don't care about space, you can add as many components as you want.
But the cool stuff is the water bongs...

I'm as well waiting for the 4th gen CPUs before I continue. I heard they are compatible with the current mobos but luckily I have someone who wants to buy my current build with no water cooling so we will see if I need new parts or not.
