The best way, obviously the most expensive way, is to buy a watercooling kit. You can also buy waterblocks for your videocard if you wish. However they usually run around $300. i use a blower called coolermaster aero 7+ (stats are better than volcano 9 - i'll get you the link) ... it keeps the cpu really cool because its made specifically for overclocking. there is a P4 version called coolermaster aero 4+. you should also get ramsinks to cool your ram, to make sure nothing dies. it would also be good to take a dremel and cut out a piece at the top of your case so you can mount an exaust fan there. and if you look on the back of your case there should be 1 or 2 places to mount exaust fans. take the dremel again and on the side of your case that you usually remove, cut out an intake fan, and on the bottom front of your case, there should be another grill there to mount another intake fan. on the spots of the case you cut, you will want to put a grill there so no fingers get in the way. - if you do this it should keep your system nice and cool
i had my ram timings set at 3-4-4-11 but i bought generic ram, its really crappy stuff, gotta get some ocz. with that i got my athlon xp 2500+ up to 2.2 ghz with a factory speed of 1.8 and have it running well. the system tempature was 20 deg celcius and cpu temp usually hovered around 28 degrees - idle, it went up to 42 on a load - running toast, which is the same deal as the program recommended above, for 1 hr... when you are increasing your front bus, you might have to increase the core voltage so it can achieve the speed, my core was at 1.8v @ 2.2. i use a program called CPUCool to monitor my case and core tempature. |

OCZ is not exatcly the best overclocking RAM, the only good OCZ chips are the PC3200 Platinum, those rival Mushkin Black Lvl II =o Get some Corsair or Kingston if you really want to overclock |

Ya...location really plays a huge part in getting good stuff, I only order online if the website is trusted and I've heard 3 good things about it from people I know. |

case modding, overclocking, and cooling is the ultimate in computers. i saw these sweeet UV fans at this place although i cant remember where. i was checkin out this site, and it showed this guy using liquid nitrogen to cool his processor. there was like a huge tank beside it... it must pump it really quickly so it doesnt freeze it or something... although i dont even think fast pumps would keep it from freezing, dont really understand how he would keep it from freezing... |

I've seen one with just water and a little beer refridgerator. Some guy was trying to make one for Computer Engineering - you have your beer and you have your cooling system with your computer. |

wow that sounds like an very intresting idea. i whounder if it whould work... may have some probelms with sealing it up, b/c the cooled air could get out all the spots where the cords go in and out the comp and the drivers do. But the idea is very intresting, almost makes me whont to try it. |

make ur case into a beer cooler... and that way it cooles ur comp.... cool..... except beer sucks... and whiskey is much better...
now using an alienware labtop to fry eggs.... TAHTS SMART!!! and useful.... . i bet it couild be done... rite dan???? just run a shitload of big programs to make ur computer overwork itsself.... and have everything overclocked.... then u can cook!!! prob fry ur pc... but it would be sweet.... emagine the next generation computer.... where floppy goes... u put a slot for bread... and it toasts ur bread or pop tarts.. using computers heat for something useful... |

LOL, whould be better then frying my legs. Whould not even need that many apps going, this thing can get hot fast. probly why it has 6 air vents on it, not shure how many fans (seems like alot but i think more then one air vent could have one fan providing air to it). But it is worth it for the profomince it gives. |
