    http://www.nanocoolers.com/products_cooling.php Can we expect to see these in computers in the near future. THe technology looks quite interesting, would be interesting to see how effective it is. Does anyone see it replacing standard cooling, or water cooling. (due to the way its set up, I can ee it becoming a stock cooler, rather than water cooling ,as its one unit).

    We've sort of been touching on that in the "Flexible Heatpipes" thread. If it isn't hype and there are working models (and I suppose there are), I can see it becoming a standard sort of thing for the general consumer. Watercooling is still a bit too high maintenance for noobs.

    If you look at the project logs, sheldog23's sapphire dislpay case has an ATi card that uses this cooling.

    That looks interesting. http://www.techpowerup.com/?3105 stumbled accross this last nigh, and it looks like they will be a plug and play solution. However one would hate to think what would happen if it developed a leak, even if the metal was non toxic, it would be conductive.
