(As usual) I don't understand the concept.
 
Why is that 'better' than using a keyboard to trigger the sounds?
 
But then again, I suppose if you're going to shell out a grand for something like that, it is going to be better
 
And does it come in a wireless version? I'd like to see one getting hoofed around a football field by 3728 blind monkeys, none of whom has any sense of decorum or rhythm.

I'm doing well Mesh, miss having the time to hang here as much as I used to but this darn thing called work really screws up my slacking off time.

I've seamlessly incorporated work into my daily posting duties, and now don't actually know what the differences are between the two.
How's the experience with liquid cooling so far? Are there any sort of maintennance required in using it?

No matainace required.
Temps hold stable at all the stress tests I've thrown at it.
If and when I build my next toy the 'new' version of this cooler will be the first i look into.

Highly recommended.

Just to be clear. This is not the sort of liquid cooling system you see with all the fancy tubes and pumps and colors and lights.
It's just some tubes running through a radiator.
Sealed system, no leaks.

I was also concidering getting a liquid cooling system, but went with the NH-D14. Interestingly, my MB actually has built in pipes running through much of the board (which was designed specifically for that purpose).............but I was a little apprehensive in doing a liquiid cooling system.
 
Good to hear it's working out well for you......possibly, my next build might do the same. :)
