Armari XCP - a stunning liquid cooled PC

Posted on Monday, September 01 2008 @ 21:08 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Armari spend three years and £100,000 of R&D on the development of the liquid cooled XCP computer - this system is fully submerged into a cooling fluid.

The XCP is a liquid cooled PC with a difference: the main components are all fully immersed in special, non electrically conductive liquid. Getting this to work was a huge technical challenge - among other things, the coolant is denser than water, and expands and contracts according to temperature changes - but the results are truly wonderful. Check out the video below to see what we mean.
