I was cruising through fry's yesterday, and I wondered.... Has anyone ever liquid-cooled a repeater? The Koolance Exos system looks pretty easy to apply, the only hard part would be adapting an existing amplifier to use their waterblock. I have a Koolance machine here, that has run with ZERO failures in three years. For me, that's very unusual. My machines tend to run heavily loaded, and run 24/7, so I normally expect an HD, motherboard, CPU, or power supply failure every 3-6 months. The new Koolance HD cooler looks like you could apply it against an amplifier pretty easily. The old one used thermally conductive "goop" that you poured all over the electronics in your HD, then put the cooler block onto. This is how the two drives in this machine are done, they run so cool you'd never think they are on. A key element of course, would be a 12VDC pump, which this unit apparently has. http://www.xoxide.com/koalex.html Yahoo!
