In layman's terms it's an hour of instrumental music, loosely-associated series of video clips slipstreamed baraka-style around 3D imagery and old-school americana/alternative press footage.

From long-time OCAU member Les Tutt: With the spate of water cooled PC entries in the database - thought I might mention that I am still using my original home made water block from this article on my current A64 3800 X2 - holding temps at around 18c above ambient with both cores 24/7 folding - with core volts at 1.525V and clocked at 2.73ghz. Not too shabby for a block I made more than 6 years ago. I’d like to take credit for being that forward thinking and having designed the block to handle substantially more than needed in the day - but really it just highlights how damn good water cooling actually is. :)
