So I thinking about getting back in the game and working on a new dream PC and this really going at it for maximum OC and parts. But before I drop like $4k on components I wanted to kinda catch up on the tech since I'm not really knowlegeble about desktop hardware vs software these days.
I did water cooling in the past and I didn't have any issue with it. Even still I was running a EVGA gtx 480 and I still ran into thermal bottlenecks. It probably didn't help that I had it on the same loop for the GPU as well.
I saw a case that has built in phase change cooling but it was pretty expensive at aprox. $280. It also doesn't have a sink for video cards either. Does anyone here do bellow ambient temp cooling and if so any ideas to chill a video card loop? I was thinking about a seperate phase change unit to chill coolant dedicated just for the GPU which aside from that would just be another run of the mill water cooling loop.
Here's the case I'm looking at.

I know about it, but that's way beyond my capablities and also its not a method that you can run stable for very long.
I forgot to mention that case I looked at is prohibitbly expensive. But I am looking for a case that can accomdate something like a phase change unit.

I don't really know, something about cooling below ambient has got my intrests.

$280 and you get that neato cooler with it? That's a steal of a deal I'd say. Look at the price of some other highend cases that are just a metal box.
