Big geek site-maintainer editor alert here, folks – I love computer fiddling. I have all the parts for a water-cooling set-up at home (no time to actually assemble, install and test it – but I have the parts if the time ever shows up). All kinds of high-end cooling get-ups tickle my fancy. I have half a dozen different kinds of CPU coolers and nearly as many video card coolers just waiting to be put to some use in some system in my house. In my rare spare time, I sand the bases of my coolers with fine grain sandpaper just so they mount and cool better. I spend extra money to buy high-end cooling pastes. I do case modding. I paint cases. I build computers for friends because I enjoy it so much that any excuse to build works for me. So naturally, with all that geekiness in my system, I have to point out this write-up on how to build your own phase-change cooling system. Now if I can just find the time and money to buy the parts so I can put it all together.

Thanks for linking me, I will actually be building a watercooling system from scratch sometime this summer, hopefully passively cooled and dead silent. Between Phase Change and watercooling, watercooling definitely has my vote unless you really need to hit ridiculous temperatures. Get on that watercooling and show your chip who is the boss.
