Question Cooling Issues

Im new to the idea of modding...I don't particualrly agree with it in the first place on the basis that it is mainly just cutting a hole in a peice of metal...nothing special.

Out of interest, what is the issue of cooling with a modded case. It seems to me from what ive read, that people who mod their case by putting a window in it with a UV light always seem to go that extra step further and put a water feature in it all in the name of cooling...

But why? I understand the concept that cooler is better, but my sytem runs fine at 22 degrees (celcius) why would i bother with water cooling, big fans and rounded cables (Cables look better rounded i know...)
I know that some are going to reply instantly with statements along the lines of, "well air-thruput is important..." i know...it just seems to me that cooling always seems to follow directly after "modding"
Can they be seperate entities?

BTW i am almost considering modding my case despite my previously mentioned disregard for the whole thing...


Regards,

if it is running cool, then better cooling is a waste of time and money, case moding is just a matter of apperance, making it look cooler, which is a pride thing, lights and led fans , and other stuff, windows are so people can see what a nice neat job you do on buolding one, also its done because some people have nothing better to do after they build there new system.
