Was chatting to Phil Mercer about this over the weekend. He raised a valid point which is the roadworthiness of a water cooled system.

Not sure how it will take to being banged around a truck and even whether it will operate properly lying on its side.

Time will tell though.

it wont be water.

Its no less roadworthy than any other piece of electronics out there - including such things like lcd displays.

"it wont be water."

Sorry my mistake - liquid cooled.

I just think that as with any new problem there are unknowns. Everything needs testing in the environment in which it is to be used.

When the G5 launched originally they had processor board issues which involved a product recall for some units from what I understand.

I think people shouldn't expect to see these units in the field immediately.

I have owned one of these for a couple years now, it's shipped around the world a couple times with me and it has never had any problems.

It's durable and the liquid cooling has in no way caused me any problems.

2 years in and many many miles, no problems.
