I finally have the duct actually installed in the case.  Read all
about it here (most of the changes are on page 2 and page 4).

I know Goy was getting anxious for an update on my progress. :)

I have now read it and I'm more determined than ever that I'll get a
turn key system :-)

If you want a truly turnkey system, you're gonna have to buy a case
with the watercooling stuff already installed.

Looks good!  I'm moving towards a slightly different approach, namely
underclocking for day-to-day use, and overclocking just for games.
Underclocking to 500mhz allows me to turn off the waterpump and all fans,
for a silent system.

For *** I run this 1700+ at 2.4ghz (3500+ rating, 5830 3dmark2003-330).
I think this idea of altering speed of components to match the application
is the way to go, but making it convenient is key.  As it is, I have to
reboot, change things in bios, toggle the pump power, diddle with fan
speeds, it's annoying.

What's needed is a controller card of some sort with a few relays and power
transistors controllable in software.  Nvidia is testing a 'softfsb' utility
for the nforce2 boards that will help, but there is still the issue of core
and chipset voltage settings:  current chipsets have no capability of
controlling voltages without a reboot, as far as I know.  At the least I'd
like to see a bios capable of defining two separate groups of settings,
choosable with a single menu option.

They do for mobile chips. The Centrino would make a fantastic low power
desktop solution
