Not for $270

Looks like a beautiful piece of workmanship. Not something you normally see in desktop computers.

I found this thing about two weeks ago (just prior to Kyle's [H]OCP postage of it). It uses passive vapor phase cooling. In a review I found somewhere an Alpha P3025 and it were compared (rather poor quality review I might add) to this cooler when using a pelt (of unknown power) to cool a P3(?) to X speed (yes another unknown). Both were tested at the same clock speed and the Kendon beat the Alpha by cooling the cpu 12.7C lower. Better yet, the Kendon cooler managed to get the cpu temps to -7.4c, under full load.

It is more than twice the price of a water cooled system and with lower cooling capability. (especially when using pelts)

P.S. notice how it blocks 2 of the three available memory slots.

The PEP66 with an peltier also blocks 2 (all 3 on some mobos) memory slots on most "slot" mobos! Greebe did you mean the prise for the kendon(?) is $270? that would make it more then twice the the prize of an PEP66 + 72w peltier!

The Kendon cooler (without pelts, copper pyramid coldplate etc) by itself alone (with one of three adapters to mount to your motherboard/cpu needs) is $270.

When I can whoop up a water cooled dual pelt system for ~$100, I think I'll pass on this one and all my memory slot are usable.

Greebe and I have been keeping an eye on this site for almost two months now

Actually the total for the kit needed for an FCPGA - copper spacers, graphite heat transfer pads and all the goodies will run around $270.00 retail in Japan. Also it uses the new freon replacement R134 or whatever the stuff is called.

For some reason I can't get the translated version link to work

Same stuff that's in your car here in the US (don't know about elsewhere)
