I'm more a fan of heat pipe/peltier setups right now. I think they have more potential for widespread use in the future, outside of laptops of course. I came pretty close to going peltier with my new system, but balked at the high power requirements.
Some people are getting pretty creative with the heat pipes, including the possibility of using the entire case as a heatpipe radiator. The possibility of a totally fanless cpu cooling solution really makes my ears happy. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, April 2, 2003, 1:58:12 PM, you wrote: hdsg> Water cooled.
