Tony,

<Does anybody actually buy those things?>

I guess so. I read many posts by the owners of Kryotech Athlon systems on a couple of message boards.

<The MTBF of the cooler, throwing in condensation and methods to get rid of it so it doesn't cause shorts or corrosion must be 1/10th that of the actual computer.>

Read this KRYOTECH interview @ targetpc.com for answers to some of your questions.

Regards,
Goutama

Computer Renaissance has three branches in San Diego. All three carry Kroyotech AMD systems. Last month I was seriously thinking about getting one but I opted for a air cooled 650. So YES I have seen one and it worked fine.

It is heavy and takes several minutes to boot. I decided that it was not worth it for me.
