That's an interesting device for a computer but I wonder why anyone would go to all that trouble (except for fun of course) when you can easily cool a Mastr II continuous duty PA with the same number of fans and it'll run cool and comfortable forever. For the price you'd pay for that water cooling unit ($200 class) you can buy the Mastr II PA and the new fans. It'll keep running even if the fans die. That's reliability which is what you want if you're putting up a repeater.
