Full Immersion Cooling Comes To Desktop PCs 192
mr_sifter writes "After three years of research and around £100,000 of R&D costs, UK-based Armari has unveiled its XCP prototype. It's a full immersion liquid cooled PC which supports standard ATX components. Unlike conventional liquid cooled PCs, the components are all easy to swap in and out as they're swimming in liquid, rather than under waterblocks. It also looks amazing, pumping around 70KG of electrically inert cooling fluid (salvaged from an old Cray) around its military grade perspex shell."

Was I the only one who read it as " Full Immersion Coding Comes To Desktop PCs" ?
I had a picture in my head of a waterproof system. Perhaps it's a metaphor for coding while drinking a microbrew....

Ah, but this is just step 1. In step 2 they add a trained octopus to each tank that will do your PC repairs for you. Then you'll really see the value! Just don't forget to feed your octupus, or it will come looking for food on it's own.

California would add grilled cheese to its list of potentially cancer-causing chemicals if it could. Probably already has, in fact.

Wake me up when they put a pc in a high vacuum. You could even put the turbo pump in a different room.

After the Sony rootkit fiasco [wikipedia.org] why in the HELL would anyone name a computer product "XCP"???!!! [uncyclopedia.org]
Because most people have never heard of the rootkit fiasco (let alone "XCP"). Additionally I don't think most people who have heard of the rootkit would be dumb enough to confuse a bad copy protection system with a liquid cooled PC. Besides, a lot of acronyms double up for different things, there's only so many TLAs available in this world.

It's immersion cooling. Pour liquid, add pump and radiator/bong, submit to slashdot.
