While running my CPU at sub-zero temps nearly gives me wood I'm really bothered with that price.

轜 ?!?!

Good lord, for that price you can probably but the same speed CPU that you'll o/c to with the VapoChill. It can't possibly be nearly that expensive to make. A window A/C unit costs what? Maybe a few hundred dollars. Add a decent case, there's another hundred or so. So they're charging at least 跌 to put it together? *whew* They really need to look at that price a bit closer.

I know this probably could've gone in the Rants Forum ... but mommy, they scare me in there.

I agree. The only way this would ever be a good deal is if you're looking into overclocking expensive chips with megs of L2 that would be too costly to replace.

The entire chip socket melted? What was it? A pentium 60? That was the only chip I ever heard of that actually got that hot.

I still want one. If it lasts through overclocking three or so generations of CPUs, it's worth it. Remains to be seen though....

Don't get my wrong. I'd LOVE to supercool my CPU. I just don't think that it's worth 700 bones. If they could just drop the price a few hundred dollars and get it in a snazzier looking case I'd be sold. Till then I'll just dream of running at sub zero temps. *sigh*

Oh yeah, NO FAIR!!! cr0 gets a unit to review .. boooooo, asetek needs to hook a bruddah up, specifically me =)

I had an old 486 type AMD heat up, smoke a bit, then CRACK IN HALF. That was cool. It just split in two.

I found out 2 yrs ago that the people who built my first computer had o/c'd my processor by about 150mhz, so when I opened up the case to see why it wasnt working properly, it came to no suprise that the processor had melted itself into the plastic on the zif socket, the heatsink had melted to the processor, and the fan had melted to the heatsink.

Now THAT takes the cake, quite literally...
