    Computer 298 in Wanchai 's Hennessy Road ain't exactly "Beyond the Black Stump" - so, if you can drag yourself away from Kowloon - there's one shop there which has "water cooling" devices in the window.

    I know of no other locations selling such items - and I've visited many.

    Addendum : I have absolutely no interest in Water-cooled devices - except my car.

    I'm not a "Speed it all up till it's busted" gamer. <grin>.

    Yea.. ermm if you are like a 24/7 computer user that uses AMD. i think water cooler is the best solution.

    But normally if you use intel with a decent cooling fan should work just fine.



    and for your DVD Rom i think it would be the best to get the double layer. so you will get both +\- its pretty cheap anyway.

    A: External Drives would be the best. Or you can use flash disk (but doesn't hold as much as HD)




    4. The computer shop i supported in the past closed, any good computer shop to recommend ?
    better in Kln side.


    Any Shop in SSP is always the best..



    5. What type of computer case is better now?

    Computer case i would go with MasterCooler

    uh...no. In the past, maybe. Newer AMD processors are faster and run cooler compared to Intel.

    Water cooling is only an alternative considered when you are overclocking or need stable cooling while running CPU intensive applications.

    Water cooling kits are available and are an aftermarket accessory for most PC's. Needless to say the components involved occupy a lot of space and require a lot of maintenance. No such thing as a "No Fan" system as proper cooling is necessary to ensure trouble-free use.

    You could make do with one, but the copy function would mean you would have to devote enough space on your hard drive to transfer data to and from the DVD. Having two DVD drives saves you that time.

    Yes. Use another hard drive. An external one is your best option.

    There are several options. You can go to Sham Shui Po or even Mong Kok depending on what you are comfortable with.

    Choose one that is designed for better airflow , maximum ventilation, and heat release. Cooler Master is a famous brand, so is Lian Li, Antec, etc.. One without screws is a good option as it eliminates fussy and messy assembly, and allows easy accessibility to inner components.
