I just saw on their web site that Sony has liquid cooled PCs the "RA" series - anyone seen/heard one in real life? I'd give you the link but I still can't figure out how to do links without getting the entire url in text!

Sony's revolutionary liquid-cooling system and advanced noise-reduction technology ensures premier performance without the heat or noise of traditional PC designs and cooling fans. A unique liquid-flow heat pipe draws heat away from the processor, while air-intake from the desktop tower's mid-section maximizes air flow and optimizes acoustics.

Aka, heatpipes. Not extremely revolutionary, but somewhat refreshing to see them in a very mainstream product.

Pretty revelotionary a year ago, but still didn't stir much interest here. Maybe the two large side case holes put people off

and here I thought the case was kinda cool looking - no pun intended. it is nice to see one of the mainstream brands attempting this. If SPCR could build the same partnership with them as with Antec....

Anybody know why they have the power supply mid-chassis? I've seen a few on the bottom, but never in the middle.

Greetings,

I dunno -- maybe to be able to put the radiator at the top?
