ole' pros have already cut the path: commoditization has taken over and the lowest common denominator rules becoming more and more common everyday.

Intel has given up the Mhz race, and low power multicore will be profligate in short order (<3years), so the work is in the software camps (multi-threading and all its fun) while burning hot cycles fall into the past (the exponential moore's law eventually overtakes the geometric expansion of code (even the MS 10,000 monkey detritus though there are hints that the sanity of Cutler's mach kernel is returning)).

I water cool my systems so I don't have more aural damage. 20 years of working in datacenters has given me unrelenting tinnitus and that is the only reason I see it needed in the home/office. In the datacenter, multicore is going to start pulling back the space requirements and that eases the cooling burden (8 years out, the next 4 are going to be touch and go).

There are the .com rehashes going on with Google & MSN datacenters, but that is only happening because they have too much money and too little sense.

Where is the market reward for pro water cooling? See how well it treated Cathar and BillA.
