Mine is also my first water cooled rig, but I'm not sure I'd do it
again.  It's certainly quieter, but it has given me several surprises
in sudden warm weather, changing the fluid every couple of years is a
major pain, and retubing it is a several day headache by the time I
add in cabling problems.  Having to blow out the dust perdiocially is
probably less hassle since there aren't fans to blow the dust around
so much.
