Just when things are getting interesting on the cooling front. This is just a lull in the action

SFF I think is where it is headed.

why not use the aquired base of knowledge to jump to the next level.

How about a mini water cooling system? competition? I took apart one of those enhiem pumps recently man oh man cheap stuff. build your own pumps using quality parts. they make 90% eff. pancake dc motors instead of the 30% eff. they are using now. the impeller was poorly done I am sure that could be improved off the shelf.

Build your own heat pipes

Use a TEC to cool the top of the waterblock rather than the cpu(i do not know if it would work)

combine technologies- waterblock to TEC to Heat pipe to radiator. whatever

Cool 100w in a case 1 inch high

Master airflow application- instead of putting 10 screaming fans on a case figure out how to do it with one.

Build your own radiators etc. A Case mod plus cooling Site?

Big opportunities in vid cards- never seen a more poorly excuted cooling solutions.

I think with cooling you have to take a more holistic approach rather than just water blocks or HSf. Total system soup to nuts
in a harsh enviro.

you can add test capability easily, Build a airflow measurment chamber for a few hundred dollars

Get a decent sound meter off of ebay

I think to improve the site you need to refine it. as noted earlier get your readers involved and expand the focus a bit but keep the basic premise intact.

best o'luck
