Joining the dark side

Hi

After much contemplation I have decided to join teh dark side and go watercooled in by 72 Bay. I think I am going for an alpha engine on teh basis that they should be dirt cheap and the person who is going to do teh conversion for me ( with my help) has played with alpha engines for years and recons they are fairly inderstructable.

If an advice/suggestions or pointing in teh general direction of good infomation most welcome.

Cheers
