I've always wanted to try out a fluorinert or other submersive type system. I think if you play it right with heatpipes and positioning, you could take all the fans out of a system. Possibly even the pump for circulating the submersion.bungle said:an external box does slightly spoil the nature of sff, but if you make it just the size of say, a big hardback book then you've still got a setup that is a fraction the size of a midtower
given the money and time, as a hobby i'd like to do a phase cooling or fluorinert setup. stuff like prometeia is overpriced for what it is
advanced cooling for sff will evolve, shuttle giving us a half decent heat pipe format is the first step of that. i consider whats going on right now to be it's first stuttering steps on the way to being very practical. after all, it's only heat throughput that matters, not spare case volume
