I recorded them with a random software to record CPU temp sensors off the BIOS. You can google for something?

Hey mate, 60 degree celcius for a IDLE pc is really bad. What is your ambiant temperature? 50? Cause that's 1 impossible, 2 quite hot. I would suspect you're using many usb hardware as those amplify the processors' temperature in order to manage them. If you remove all your usb hardware, you should easily be able to go at 20-25 especially with water cooling.

$89 is not that much! I would need a lot of mechanical parts to be able to put together something similar--for example to work in copper tubing I'd need copper-tube melting equipment, shaping equipment, threading equipment, etc....

damn, that's a lot of money... I built a similar system for about $10-15, I guess.

Just need rubber tubing, a block of aluminum and a TEC.

I left one case fan on the back, but I think I'm going to rip it out relatively soon--it's not doing much good. There's also a fan on the front, but I can control the speed, so I just leave it off now. There's really not much need for fans inside the case anymore.

OMG...I wish I have a PC configured like yours. What do you use it for mainly? Surfing and blogging doesnt need that much power.. :)

One question, with that cooling device, you still need all those noisy fans? I guess you cant take them off right? So it still noisy as hell?
