The CPUs are encased in a liquid, but its not circulating -passive cooling. The CPUs heat up the liquid and the jillion fans cool down the container of liquid. I assume heat convection keeps the liquid circulating automatically. The top temperature i've seen in my dual- G5 is 168 F. [...] > Cool. I have a fan in front that fits in a drive bay.

The tower models have 9 fans already. YOu can download a utility (forget its name) that will monitor the temp and speed of fans and sensors in the box. It's fun to watch the temp rise as the CPUs get used. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
