thats quite interesting.

So the CPU cooler is the giant radiator, and you can merely extend it to cool the other components without a total system reinstall.

This has some good potential, depending on noise

Notice how much the motherboard bends 400W~600W is just insane...

(I wonder when PSU manufacturers are going to make water cooling for PSUs?)

Those motherboards with a liquid cooled NB will love this. Will be the most easiest watercooler ever. Price will be waaaaaaay out of my interest rate, but it's still a very innovative and interesting product. Weight might be too much too, but doubt it's more that 1KG, mind that Intel stock cooler already bends motherboard like that.

Wouldn't mind owning this with a GPU block. One thing I just don't get, if the waterpump reservoir is hermetically sealed and requires no maintenance, how is it suppose to have enough water to cool 2 GPUs?

the internal tank could be sealed, with a second unit inside?

Must be something like that, will be interesting to see a review of it, doubt anyone is going to dissect it, but it would show the valves and procedure to add something else to the loop.

If you mean the demo I looked at it couple times, that's where I wrote the "hermetically sealed.." stuff. That just didn't show do the in/out valves come in the the reservoir/pump part, like it looks it doesn't on those CES pictures. If it does that goes against the maintenance and sealed part.

Of course it could be maintenance free if you don't add anything else to the loop and if you do, you already know how to maintenance it

edit: here was more info (on page 4), sounds more like you need to add liquid before use, but I don't know. Have no experience with watercooling

whoa.. for under a 100 bucks.. a self contained wc system that can disipate 400-600W of heat and be hooked up externally to other components is just insane!

oh and @ tk.. koolance has a self contained water cooled 1kw psu.

that cooler needs more support that.. mobo is bending quite a bit..
