Someone mentioned building their own heat pipes. That would be difficult. Most heatpipes have a vacuum to allow liquids to change states at a lower temp. The vacuum can be adjusted at the factory to alter which temp range they function at. (usually 40-60 deg C)

Welding a copper tube with liquid in it and at the same time maintaining a vaccum would be impossible for most enthusiasts. Unless of course you close the pipe with a fitting, then suck air out with a pump.. hmmm

As for ideas for this site... How about getting more into the modding besides cooling. Like fan controls, lcds, and other "cool" mods that actually have compelling functions.

Windows and stuff are kinda getting lame lately, except for the really creative ones. But how about making switches for changing the hdd primary/slave configurations for multi-booting. Or modding power supplies and things not normally modded.

Well, keep brainstorming
