    Looks interesting but how in the world do you turn on your computer? Unless you have 2ft legs on each side of the notebook, that thing isn't going to be easy to manage.

    Nice! Gives me some ideas.... perhaps to avoid the hole-in-the-desk syndrome we instead slapped a heater-core, like this:

    On the back of the lid, with suitable spacing and some insulating fibreglass cloth like this:

    and then basically run a dry-sump system where there is little excess fluid in the closed cooling system that needs to be stored in a separate container.

    Of course, there'd have to be a fan/circulating system as well....

    Someone's already done it with a desktop:

    But that's the key: it's about time that cooling technologies other than passive air-cooling - the equivalent of opening your windows - were refined for the laptop, or at least for the DTR notebooks.
