Hmmm, I think its time for watercooling
Well, I've got a 1.2 Ghz Athlon, 256 MB of DDR Ram, and a Geforce 2 Ultra. During the really hot days (it was 95 today, and I don't have AC) my CPU is running at about 135 degrees, my motherboard says 100 with 2 120 mm fans blowing in, and who knows what my video card is at. This system is not overclocked in any way btw.
So anyway, I'm thinking about water cooling now. Any suggestions for kits? Or should I go with a homebuilt unit?
Thanks!

Homebuilt would save you a lot of $. My friend recently made a ghetto watercooling setup with parts from Canadian Tire and such. And it's all up and running now...
Funny thing is, this was his first custom built system and he jumped right on watercooling Let me tell you, I am impressed to say the least.
So yes it is possible, but you have to do a lot of research.
Just to get you started on the basics:

If you are going for kits, I suggest the kits over at www.overclockershideout.com and www.dangerden.com
