Steve, thanks for the link,

"By concealing the processor in a cooling shroud, the air exhausted by the processor's fan travels by the heatsink at a higher velocity,

Why do they use high velocity fans if the CPU only needs passive cooling? I just don't get it!

Seriously, the more I think about it, the harder it is to believe that Intel released a CPU with only a 60 C, junction temperature requirement! If that is not act of desperation, I don't know what is!

Stevie - Re: Dell 1 gig Intel Inside Review

Guess you missed this part of the review:

"The Conclusion

The Dell Dimension XPS B 1000r may be a bit ahead of the market. At $4000, it has a limited audience. However, I am positive, this is the fastest computer I have ever used."

steve,
Fan?, I see no fan? (memories of Nelson's famous comment)

BTW Dell also makes hovercraft and that knowledge came in handy with the ducting design. Does it make much noise? Do you need to bolt it down to stop it from escaping.
Ducts like that are quite common in many servers.
