Overclocker Cafe has posted a review on an external watercooling unit (similar to Zalman's silent unit) called Symphony. The performance seems to be more than adequate if you have the spare room for a large cooling tower.

Overclockers Online has posted a review on the Antec TX1088AMG chassis. Here is a little clip from their article:As you can see, there was a dramatic drop in temperatures when I shifted cases.

Hardware Analysis has posted a guide entitled "Build your own 10" subwoofer". Depending on where you're from, this might mean a few different things. However, in this case, the authors means building an enclosure and modifying a woofer for the best performance possible. It is definitely an interesting read if you have the time.
