Off-The-Rack Liquid-Cooled PC Case

Maybe this is the thing we have been waiting for ... finally silence on the desktop. Too bad the supplied case is extremely ugly"

    But can it keep my beer cold like thouse refrigerator cases? I think not.

    Early glimpses of the plan suggested a system in which water is replaced by a fluid that evaporates over the hot parts of the pc, is then moved by convection to a radiator where it cools, condenses and is returned by gravity to the start of the cycle. Sadly the idea remained vaporware for a long time.

    Sounds like it still is?

    How are you suppose to impress non-techies with your server room, when it sounds nothing like a 747 preparing to take off?

      Well duh,

      Play an Mp3 of your old loud server on the new server when you have visitors.

  5. But the cost? by nizo · · Score: 3, Funny

    Price delivered ~$202 each. Cost of balls of toilet paper stuffed into each ear so I don't have to hear my noisy case: free if I steal it from a public restroom. Plus I would really miss the feeling of hot air blowing on me as I sit next to my computer. Yeah my components would last longer, but what excuse would I have to upgrade if they didn't burn up now and then?????

    You have to unhook everything every once in a while in order to take your PC to the bathroom to pee.

    A stove to remove heat and a refrigerator to add it? Sounds like you need a new stove and fridge...
