Liquid Cooling To Go Mainstream
Liquid cooled PCs have long been the domain of power users such as gamers, but the fact that the system is completely silent makes them an ideal choice for media center PCs as well.However, not many manufacturers are producing PCs with liquid cooling as standard and building your own system always seemed fraught with danger - after all, water and CPUs don’t mix.
Gizmodo brings us news of CoolIT’s self-contained system specifically designed to easily drop into a media center PC.
The maintenance-free system fits into the space normally reserved for a couple of three-inch cooling fans, replacing them with a radiator and tubes that carry cooling liquid around the CPU and graphics processor.

Many iPod killers have come and gone - many of them were pretty good - but finally a device will reach the market that has the brand and the marketing clout to prise Steve Jobs’ fingers from their stranglehold on the mp3 player market - Microsoft’s Zune.Whether the Zune player is any good or not remains to be seen, but the truth is that it doesn’t need to be exceptional. Creative’s Zen players are fabulous, but the brand is puny compared to Apple’s so it languishes behind in every statistic. Microsoft is not hampered with the same lack of marketing resources and so the likelihood is that Zune will make a dent - possibly only a small one - in the iPod’s market share.
