Neat! They have the same CPU heatsink I do. :D

Couple things to note though...
1. Where's they stick the wires? Are they coming out a hole in the lid on the back or something? It would tricky to get it to look so nice in real life.
2. No front headers! No easy place to stick a thumb drive or your headphones.
3. HEAVY! Try taking that sucker to a LAN party!

Regarding the heat build up...
Quote from: The article
you realistically would not be gaming constantly for 12 hours,

They really underestimate me. :)
Perhaps not gaming that long, but I know I've had weekends where gaming/compiling and/or compressing easily totalled 12 hours or more.

Though they add additional cooling later...the radiator just ruins the whole feel/look of it.

It seems like the poor fan would hate pushing that stuff around all day. And if you have lots of money, you just drain the oil out I guess :P

They didn't even remove fans (useless in oil..) lol

Good for noiseless pc, but bad when you need to modify something :)
