Water cooling is it safe ?

I'm willing to try using water cooling the PC I'm building mostly for challenge it seems to be (and the awsome look it can be). But I'm going for a 4000$+ investment so I don't feel like ruining it.

So would you guys say a newbi could do it pretty safely or chances are that I spill water out of the tube joint and it kill my precious PC ?

Its like skydiving and swordplay, great fun and perfectly safe.
Provided you do your homework and preparation first....

This is a yeas and no answer. is driving safe? yes and no. Like motopsychojdn said, do your homework and everything will be fine, i think. lol. I have been liquid cooling only 4 years and i love it. even if you dont overclock, low temps make your components happy. just dont buy any of those kits. your better off getting some nice high end gear. good luck.

Watercooling is more of a hobby than anything- it requires a lot of time, preparation and dedication to make sure everything works how it should. It's not rocket science, but it also isn't something you just slap on, plug in and go either.

It's highly addictive, which is why I've been doing it for over 9 years or so...and I plan on continuing until...well, indefinitely if possible. There has been a very large enthusiast growth over the past 5 years or so which can be seen with the expanse of manufacturers taking part in the market as well as hybrid/entry level components like Corsair H-series getting into the mix with semi-viable 'dummy proof' coolers.

Funny you mention that...I go skydiving about once a summer...an incredible rush...

I think I pay about $100-$125 each time I go...it's much less if you are a member and go regularly...as low as $30-$40 each jump. I know at the place I go, they have a strict weight limit of 200lbs so several of my heftier buddies aren't able to jump...but just as well- they are afraid of leaping out of perfectly good, functioning airplanes.

It is a fantastic sensation to free-fall like that, though.

From 10,000ft you get about 40 seconds of free fall. The first time feels like it's over in 5 seconds...after that, it seems much longer, but your body gets more of the fear+adrenaline+ ecstatic feeling.
