Water-cooled case Wily writes: "Hard/OCP reviewed a retail water-cooling system/case: hardocp.com $180+shipping, the radiator and pump are in the bottom of the case, the power supply is also cooled. Selling features are easy setup, quiet operation, quality built. " Hmmm, that's cheaper than I would have expected. Almost ready for prime time, it seems. Just so there's no confusion, my article/proposal was about Fluorinert baths for cooling/heat transfer. It was not about water cooling. Nor was it about cooling to below room temperature. Nor was it about Freon. (I've seen variants of all of these mentioned as being what I was proposing...just want to set the record straight.) Using Fluorinert (or water, for those who might prefer it) should become important when the costs of this kind of cooling give enough system performance improvements. At $180, that time may be close at hand. --Tim May
