COMPUTEX 2007: Thermalright enters PC chassis market with huge heatsinks

[Navin]

Not content with making some of the largest heatpipe coolers ever to grace the inside of a PC, Thermalright is going one giant leap further with the creation of a series of case-panel-sized coolers that are used together in a family of replacement PC chassis.

Just me, or does that seem completely stupid to anyone else?

[alsenior]

completely over the top and it would probably interfere with most graphics cards to boot

[Funkstar]

In fact, are CPU sockets in exactly the same place these days?

[Fabula]

Bit overkill, and looks painful to install a system.

Normally a fan of thermalright, but that's ugly and looks like it will only work with a few select motherboards.

I think Zalman(?) made cases that were the sole source of cooling, really expensive. I think they marketed them towards recording studios and other placs where silence is a must. Here we go (http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/...t.asp?code=020)

the difference is is that zalmans chassis is well designed.and the heatpipes can be easily shifted

So if you want to install new memory you need to totaly disasemble the cooler on your CPU, nice :/

also designed for a completely silent PC. works well, although even it is a bugger to work on.
