In the entire article you failed to mention that there is a computer company actually selling a liquid cooled machine....Apple....They have actually been selling one for a year now...so it is not all that new...

Not the same

Apple does liquid cooling like a car engine - it circulates liquid to through the G5 hot spots, then uses a radiator to remove the heat from the liquid. This article discusses actual refrigeration, where a compressor and condensor are used to chill the liquid.

it's in the story

Liquid cooling that Apple is using is in the story. It's not really a badge of honor. It adds cost (IBM had the same problem with mainframes in the 70s). cooligy also offers a solution, but not needed yet in intel/amd desktops. the purdue thing would take a lot of the onerous costs out.
