Taipei (Taiwan) – The guys at Thermalright hate computer cooling fans with a passion and have developed a case that’s basically a huge radiator.  Consisting of aluminum paneling, ribbed with heatpipes, this case doesn't need any cooling fans (well, with the exception of the fan in the power supply unit).

Loren Hrabak, a sales engineer with Thermalright, told us the HSC-101 case dissipates up to 150 watts of heat per side.  One side of the case is for the processor while the other side is for the graphics card and other components.

The company is still finalizing what water blocks, tubing and other parts to include with the case.  There is also no specified price, but it will probably be a bit expensive as the tooling costs required for the side panels must be astronomical.

Thermalright also showed off another case with six huge fans in the front and back.  This is accomplished by moving the motherboard a few inches away from the back.  Extender cables connect the i/o ports on the back of the motherboard to ports in the case.
