OH MY GOD my mouth is watering on this one.

From the looks of it I will just be going wth liquid so I can eliminate noise and also cool video cards while still getting decent overclocks.

However, I doubt they'll be able to push this into the $200 range like they hope, at least not for a while. And the beefy electricity bill makes me think I should wait to graduate before I try this out.
However, kudos to OCZ for trying to make this type of extreme cooling more available.

I have to agree with him on a wait and see kind of atitude. I sure hope it brings home the bacon though!
These are shipping now out of OCZ HQ...Just FYI
tweaktown said:When looking at the Cryo-Z and comparing it to the Mach II GT, several differences stand out. The mounting system for the Cryo-Z is much better and you do not have to purchase additional hardware to mount the system to different motherboard platforms. Also, since the Cryo-Z uses foam instead of the black sticky thread (goop) you end up with a motherboard that does not have a permanent mess all over it. Both the Mach II GT and OCZ Technology Cryo-Z cool the processor right around the same, even though they use different compressors. When it comes to cost the Mach II GT is around 899 US Dollars and the referee is still out on the Cryo-Z, but I would expect the final cost to be lower than 499 US Dollars.
The biggest problem I have with the Cryo-Z is the build quality. If the rumors are true then it is this reason why we are just now starting to see these coolers being made available to the public. If all of the units OCZ has in stock are like our sample then there will be a few people who are not going to be satisfied with the product based on appearance alone.
Show me a silent phase cooling unit that is below $500 and will buy it right away!
That low of noise is very hard to do on a tight budget, however possible. I've done so called silent systems. 25dba is almost stupid though. You can't really notice most things below 30dba that arent a foot or two away or unmuffled. Your still dissipating the same amount of heat, so you can't simply expect it to make it dissapear, it has to be dissipated somewhere.
