    I was searching the web to see if any companies offerered advanced liquid cooling for a laptop, and came across some forum that had this pic, some guy soldered the parts on too his laptop. Thought I would share it with you guys.

    So you buy a laptop because it is fully self-contained and relatively light, then Frankenstein an external water cooling system (including the resevoir this pic doesn't show) on to it. And I'm guessing it also has an external pump, that probably needs to be plugged in. So you've made it require an outlet to run, dependant on external components, fragile, and heavy. I have to admit, the geek side of me says "cool", but the practical side of me says, "wow, that was a lot of work to defeat the purpose of having a laptop."

    It is crazy to see what some people will do though, hehe.

    I think the same too. But still its nice to see people doing their own mods to fit their needs.

    I think it would have been better to just take the notebook apart and install the cooling properly.
