Liquid cooling was mostly just an experiment for me. I had never

Whoa! Timeout! This is getting way hardcore. Can't you and Andy just pay for
a big beefy Xen VM like at linode.com? Then it will be quiet and cool just by
the fact that it is housed somewhere else.
I do way too much graphical stuff (VLSI design, PCB layout, etc.).
Latency through anything other than local is just not going to cut it.
I am *fast* when it comes to doing graphical stuff. Even having the
display come from the same LAN introduces enough lag to drive me nuts.
It really has to be the local desktop. <twitch> <twitch>
I don't need monster GL performance, which is why I was trying to go
with an Intel graphics chipset. They've been very good about supporting
Linux for quite a while now, so they deserve my purchase. Hopefully,
AMD nee ATI will start getting better, but it's going to take a bit yet
before they get a purchase. I have been burned by both ATI and nVidia
drivers, so I'm not terribly inclined to be one of the first.
