    In a desktop, such technologies - water cooling/etc - are avaliable, but in a notebook, it is impossible due to space restraints and a few other factors, as in power requirements, etc.

    Yeah, water is pretty heavy. I doubt the 105" LCD would be easy to fit in your backpack, either... ;)

    Four Gigs of RAM and a teraflop of storage... that's gotta be one expensive machine.

    Just curious how it works...
    What I have in mind is like the cooling system in a refrigerator...
    Are there pictures, reviews of any liquid cooling for computers?

    Here is an article which explains liquid cooling - it is different that a refridgerator, as you will see. ;)
