Think about it, would you put a fish tank on top of your TV and stereo? In case anything goes wrong, it will go wrong in very big way.

Silicon, electricity, and water still don't mix.

Even a fully sealed water cooling set up will require maint. after a while.

Just asking: is there any new alternative to air coolers, good air coolers? I know these can work well since I use a good (and BIG one) myself (Noctua ND15), still there are two or three games that can out the temps to dangerous maximums bove 90°C that you do not want to run as default temps without wanting to shorten the lifespan of your CPUs, it happens even easier in VR.
