Hold your... err... GPUs! EKWB has a whole bunch of water blocks coming.

Why a waterblock for the 750/750ti? Wouldn't the money be better spent on a better air cooled card?

Only reason I could see would be for a almost silent mid range gaming HTPC? Although I can't see why a passively cooled 750 ti wouldn't be plausible

While some people would rather have a better air cooled card than a 750 under water, I can understand some people would use it.

Imagine a stock clock i5 and 750ti under water with a nice rad and silent fans crammed into a small case. Would be pretty cool.

As opposed to an overclocked i5 and 770 crammed into a just slightly larger case? 😛

I'm just saying, with an Apogee Drive II, a reservoir/rad combo and enough radspace, you can make a loop work pretty well in a crammed space like that, and higher end Nvidia cards really aren't so long as to be prohibitive anymore...

the only cases that would have space restraints that only a 750ti sized card would fill certainly wouldn't have room for a custom loop.

Your last point is the main thing. If you're going to spend hundreds on a custom loop system, why in the world would you stick with a 750 Ti? Not quite as elegant, but for $80 you can get an H50 and an NZXT G10 bracket and keep the GPU extremely cool, and use the $300 saved to get a 780 instead.

Some times it's more about hobby/experience than about money/performance...
