The thing I love about my PC is that I have been able to upgrade at will. I change something here, something there, add new hardware here. With a Mac you really can't do that without going to a Mac store, upgrades are just not as easy. Kinda the same thing with a laptop. I like the portability of a laptop but I am happy at my desk at home. Besides, you know the power of the Desktop and I have like 2TB of storage and that does not fly with a laptop. Yup, I was looking at the liquid cooling systems. I already have the case I am going to use an Antec 900. It's a sweet case and is liquid cooling ready. http://www.antec.com/usa/productDetails.php?lan=us&id=15900
