Watercooled Aluminum Casing

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the cooler-is-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Overclockers Online has posted a review of an all aluminium black Lian Li case equipped with a Z4 watercooler. Besides looking slick this product, that goes by the name Heat Seeker, performs very well." Part of me wonders when is enough, well, enough. Then I stuff that part into a box and try to justify buying one of these things ;)

    Aluminum is the standard spelling in Canada and the US, and perhaps elsewhere. Go fuck yourself.



    In 1807 Sir Humphrey Davy discovered aluminum, and named it with only one i . The International
    Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry soon decided to add the extra i, to parallel the endings of sodium, potassium and other element names. The two-i spelling (aluminium) was the standard throughout the world for a time, even in the USA. (This explains why Webster 1913 has the two-i spelling as standard.) But in 1925 the American Chemical Society officially reverted to aluminum, and the one-i spelling has been standard in the US since. Which is to say, aluminum is not a misspelling of aluminium.
