That...would...suck.

First of all these thing arent coming out for a few more month so i doubt it that it will be in the docks . And second http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/about/location.asp
Im so sure they will send stuff from korea instead of CA

Actually they were and are due out this month!!!
2nd of all they didn`t make these things in the USA!!!
Since the port of New Orleans is or was the largest and busiest port in the country...need I say more?

I just look in Google Earth it is faster to ship from Korea to Ca where they have an outpost in CA.

ok!!!

But seriously, do you need an exclamation point after every few words? 😕

Many shipments of Asian origin ends up in Long Beach, CA. To get to New Orleans would mean a long trip down to the Panama Canal. Why do you think there are so many computer related companies in the greater LA area?

Might it be that Silicon Valley is closer to LA than NO ?

I just hope the scientifically objective reviews don't blow it out of the water.

Because -- if it turns out to be mostly hype -- I'll probably be looking for a double 120mm radiator, water-block and tubing.

We need to be knowledgeable and we need to understand that not all reviews are scientific as was the case of the first supposed scientific review of this product!!

http://www.overclockers.com/articles1246/ An intresting read. I like the idea.
but...
I think it will be difficult to make a commercial product flexible enough to be used in a variety of cases, and be able to retain the vacuum seal over a long time at a reasonable cost.

It is probably going to need a lot more time to mature.

This is good news for Zalman, they can raise the price of the 9500, blame it on Katrina and have people actually believe it.

A dock in New Orleans? Doesn't most of that stuff come from Asia? It doesn't make much sense to go to the Gulf of Mexico when you can easily unload your wares on the Pacific coast.

Overclockers already have a review of one called the Asetek VapoChill Micro?Extreme. No pricing info, but it got rated top notch.
