Been up and running for about half a year now so I should be good. Also I use metal hose clamps on the tubes rather than the cheap plastic ones they normally sell at watercooling sites.
DD-WRT: Check
Boosted: Nope, didn't have time to do it the day I worked on it and the guy I did it for said he didn't really care about boosting it, he just wanted it to run cooler.

Nice setup! Though I have always been weary of liquid cooling because of possible leaks.
Now this type of cooling is expensive...

Mines got the cooling fan on it BECAUSE it'* boosted. Just so everybody knows. Normal power output from a stock router is 28mW and my router is pushing 251mW. In my military career field we have certain LOS radio sets that only push 300mW.

Trust me, the boost in power is awesome. When I was in tech school for my military job, we had 6 of these routers with high gain antennas. Had them set-up in a link style network so the two buildings we were living in had a full scale wireless network. Brick buildings, filled with cinder blocks and re-bar. Not friendly for RF signals. Anyway, we had all of them boosted to 251mW. We could go about 3 blocks or so down the street and have about half signal.
