NEC and Hitachi Develop Quiet Desktop Water Cooling System from DVD Recorder

NEC and Hitachi have jointly developed a new water cooling system that keeps the operation sound of the desktop PC main unit below the DVD recorder. By adopting the world's top CPU water cooling technology and the world's first HDD water cooling jacket, it is said that it achieves about one third of the quietness of the conventional water cooling system loading machine.

Does this mean that you do not have to worry about the PC's operating sound and put the desktop PC body in the next room?

Details are as follows.
NEC and Hitachi Develop Quiet Water Cooling System for Desktop PCs (July 30, 2007): Press Release | NEC

According to this release, NEC and Hitachi jointly developed a new water cooling system for desktop PCs. As a result, the operating sound of one machine equipped with a conventional water cooling system and three machines equipped with a new water cooling system will be about the same, so we will reduce the silent level of the PC itself to about one third of the conventional level It is.

The reason for realizing this noise qualities is that it adopted the world's first class CPU cooling technology held by Hitachi and the world's first HDD cooling water jacket jointly developed by both companies , By adopting the HDD water cooling jacket, it became possible to wrap the whole HDD with high performance sound absorbing material / anti-vibration material, so it seems that HDD operation sound can be reduced by 10 dB or more. In addition, the driving sound of the water cooling system as a whole was also reduced by adopting a micro pump of low drive sound type and high performance sound absorbing material to each part.

By the way, this water cooling technology is planned to be adopted for NEC's next-generation personal desktop PC, and it is easy to hear delicate sounds of high-quality digital contents because it is possible to develop AV personal computers with operating sounds below the DVD recorder , It seems that comfortable PC life will be offered, such as not being concerned about the operation sound even when using a PC in the midnight study or recording a TV program while sleeping.

I am worried about the price of the key, but I wonder if there are people who think that they want even if they do not care about the price.
