    I've seen the PC equivalent of a window A/C unit that fits over a couple of your PCI slots. I also seem to remember seeing a very expensive pre-modded case from someone like Thermaltake that has refrigerator coils inside it.

    i am sure thats the way that things are going, though. CPU's and graphics cards are getting so fast and powerful these days that there will come a time when the CPU cooling equipment will/may take up the majority of the space within the PC unit.

    The case you're speaking of is more than likely the VapoChill.

    wow! thats quite amazing! i wonder if it will ever become a reality. it addresses another concern too - that of increased noise due to larger cooling fans. just hope that the PC doesn't catch fire.

    Imagine the mess when it's time to upgrade the CPU...

    I wonder if you can deep fry potatoes in this at the same time?
