Keep em cool...the new heatsink! :Q

Click me!

Koolance, specialized in watercoolers, showed their cases with integrated watercooler. While these are nice, they were already available before CeBIT, and lots of info about them can already be found on the net. To attract attention to their stand, they displayed a really cool experiment: an "immersion" cooled PC, where all components are in a "fishtank" filled with a liquid that is electrically nonconductive, but has a high thermal conductivity.

Hopefully not a repost....and I know this is DC..but this is awesome! :D......and great for those dang hot SETI rigs! :D

Reminds me of the guy two years ago who cooled his system immersed in mineral oil. His biggest problem was that mineral oil gets VERY thick when you cool it much, and he was cooling it with a refrigerator coil. It was a thick as molasses and wouldn't circulate very well.
