The folk over at CoolIT
Systems
made a name for themselves when the mighty Dell took the company's MTEC
technology and stuck it into the XPS 710 H2C high-end desktop machine.
Since then it has introduced the Domino ALC for simpler liquid-cooling.
Now it has gone to town at CeBIT with a custom machine built by Kobalt
Computers.

Driven over from England, the beast of a rig has more tubes and pipes than is sane. Take a looksie:
Built into a custom
chassis, the monster
uses four CoolIT Freezone Elite chillers that cool the CPU - an
overclocked Core i7 965 Extreme Edition at 4.4GHz - along with a couple
of GeForce GTX 295 liquid-cooled cards, and a stout 1,200W PSU.
The see-through 'Blade'
chassis won't
pass current electro-magnetic compatibility testing, according to the
folks at CoolIT, but Kobalt will probably add an internal mesh to bring
it up to specification.
