I saw a similar one a few months ago, but don't think I saw any sort of review of the performance (may have been a demo of an upcoming product). Dunno whether or not to think it'd be reliable with a tiny pump, or even able to exhaust all that much more heat than a normal large heatsink. The point of water cooling is that you have a large volume of water that transfers heat to a very large radiator.

I'm wondering why the fan is 26.5cfm @ 36db

They list this as good enough to support a 3.06 on that site

Well, it's definately unique. However, is there any chance of the magnetic pump messing with any of your hardware? And can the coolant be replaced somehow?
Also, for motherboards with no mounting holes, How safe would it be to drill them in the board? I understand that circuitry probably runs through the PCB, but I wouldn't want to be the one to experiment with it

First, never drill holes in any mobo, it will die. This looks interesting, I would be interested in a review.

Why is it when they develop something like this that they use a 5000 RPM 60mm fan to cool it? Why don't they use an 80mm lower RPM fan that can push more air with less noise? I wouldn't have it for the noise factor alone.

And it costs $50 bucks!? Might as well just get the SLK-900 and put a 92mm Zalman ZM-F2 running at half speed.
