We should focus on extreme but silent cooling, maybe even extreme passive cooling for HTPCs. I sure as hell am interested. People in other forums like SPCR don't have the hardware skills to make their dreams come true, but here people have a lot of real skills and knowledge.

Also what about memory cooling? Active cooling isn't enough for the memory I use, and they are packed so closely together it's hard to cool them. Ended up watercooling them, but it's another thing we can focus on.

I agree we should stick to cooling, because there is so much yet to be explored, although projects in general are interesting as well. Ideas that come to mind are chimney cooling and using subsonic 190dB sound to cool CPUs silently.

Also, what about building a miniture liquid nitrogen generator that fits inside the computer and is affordable, to ultracool the CPU? There is still a lot to explore, some impractical ideas like this one can be made practical as long as the theory works. Maybe even teach a pet squirrel to continuously blow on the CPU heatsink.

Last but not least thermosyphons are the future. Or at least they are my future, because I am madly in love with thermosyphons. I can't get my mind off of her and her friends.
