A partnership would see, let's make up an example here, Dell come out with a high end workstation that includes water cooling. As you might already realize, Dell already knows how many of these they're going to produce, even before they produce the very first one, so the call comes out for a water cooling kit. At this point, they can either develop the WC kit themselves, which would probably have us all here laughing into next week, or partner up with a company like Swiftech, with their new MCW-6002, and build a (Swiftech sanctionned) kit right into the box, and let Swiftech enjoy a bit of publicity, a massive one time sale of blocks, even for minimal profit, if any, because it's going to begin mainstreaming water cooling for everybody, and boost their sales far above everyone else, and HP makes headlines around the world, again.

Like I said, a whole different ballgame.
Certainly a possibility, but if they are going to partner with someone it will be a much larger company IMO. What would probably happen is they would make it a bidding process. Which ever company can come up with the best options would win. I doubt Swiftech has the capability to take on the larger cooling companies (which most likely already have a water cooling plan in mind). Probably names we we don't even know like Shenzhen Renhai Electronics Co., Ltd.
