I seen in a computer mag called Maximum PC a article on a liquid cooled PC , I do know your RF Amp on Broadcast Gear has a cooling pump, but I like that idea of a pumpless cooling system, I think if someone wanted to experiment with the same technology as a Solar heating system, maybe some engineering someone could design such a system. just some thoughts there. and be Energy Star compliant ???
