Tom's Hardware had a review of Asetek's VapoChill. I know you aren't trying to overclock your computer but allegedly it only generates ~35db of noise and will cool the inside of the case as well.
The downside is that it costs around $750.00 for the case and there aren't that many drive slots.
Actually this may not be far off. WordPerfect 5.1 was the industry standard until later versions of word were released, and it ran just as fast on an IBM XT then a 386. Future releases of office have included worthless, time-consuming features like Auto-complete, Auto-format, and the office assistant that consume large portions of cpu cycles with only a marginal benefit.
The economic concerns would not be a problem. I read an article similar to this in the economist that talked about the rising MRC (marginal resource cost) of collecting the oil as they went deeper and eventually there would still be oil left but it would be very costly to extract it. At this point in time the world as a whole would accept the technology of fuel cells or any other non-petroleum based fuel. The countries would realize the problem before the technologies ever caught on.
Plus the new zeolites that can be developed in space allow for countries such as the United States to use a higher percentage of internally generated oil since the usable amount per drum is higher.

I think that he should have had "This case was slashdotted" burned into the side of the case. It would make a nice finishing touch.
On an unrelated note, Flay still managed to annoy Morimoto even after he removed the cutting board.

I don't know about you, but I thought that Gladiator had the best "hacking" of any movie.
While we are at it, perhaps we can convince Bill Gates that "640k isn't enough for anybody"
