@SmeRndGy"wow thats an efficient design. you could probably buy a dell for $300 that is faster than that and just has a normal heat sync."Stupid comment, Troll. There are some Intel boxen that are faster. They are SMP boxes as well and are in roughly the same price range as the Apple. I could build a faster box for less money, (but not much) and of course it wouldn't run OS X.
Interesting that they have an automotive subcontractor (Delphi) doing the cooling system. Wonder if they got a 5 year warranty on it? Shouldn't have to worry about potholes.
That is remarkably complicated. I feel sorry for the engineers that have to come up with this thing, but I'm also awed -- it seems really clean at the same time.
Here's to hoping the MacIntels with Pentium M...I mean Yonah....I mean "Core" won't be needing this much crap to cool them. Why is it the G5 does but I've never seen a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.8 (or whatever they're up to now) GHz machine with this kind of kit, except on custom water cooling rigs?I'm a Mac fan too. But there's no way I'd ever want a machine like that.

Somehow I didn't know the Quad G5 was watercooled, but makes sense. +Digg

i take my pc apart all the time and dont post it herewho gives a f**k about this s**t

having built a number of water-cooled PCs, that's well done imo.

Is not G5, but internal view of LADA laptop, developed by Soviet Union!
