    The Register (I know, I know :rolleyes:):

    Even if the story is from the Register, it sounds pretty cool and it must have taken a lot of work to pull off.

    Now what would be really sweet is if they were able to do that in a laptop. I would like to see that (unforunately it wouldn't be quite as small as my V6j, but I can dream, right)...

    ???confused...i've seen water cooled motherboard for years. north and southbridge blocks is about all you need when running stock.

    and my very old epox 8rda3+ had a LED digital display...

    seems like old news for a new board?

    I think the fact that its integrated into the computer built onto the motherboard when you get it is the thing. Its kinda neat, watercooling used to be aftermarket only, now its stock. (I think is what is neat)

    OOOOOH ok. yes that is interesting. However I think companies like Sony and Alienware have them beat as far as pre-built/already installed kits lol. But as a stand alone part having it pre-installed, yes i do think that is a first. i wonder if it is easier to maintain or if it still requires additives and water care like a normal system? doesn't seem to user-friendly...i wouldn't trust too many people with water cooling kits lol.
