ONE INTERESTING device that turned up at Computex is a watercooling PSU by JSP Tech.
Not much more to say about it, it is a 450W PSU that has a watercooler in it with a CPU block. It will retail for about $150 when it comes out in the near future.
On one hand, it makes a lot of sense, you have a direct external exhaust and a large area to put a radiator on. On the other hand, water + AC = bad. I will leave it up to the reader to decide if this is a good idea or not, but it certainly is different.
Sauce: INQ, looks sexy imo, creative but questionable.

Probably not a bad idea. I guess you'd feel pretty dumb if it did leak and break sh*t, but that goes with all water cooling I guess.

I use to have a water cooler that cost me 250$ and it broke constantly so i decided to go by fans, i honestly would'nt recommend water cooling to any1.

ya i'm not sure bout the water with AC in the same unit, unless they are in separate waterproof compartments...does look sexy though
I'm not one to recommend water cooling, thats why I pay a hooker 5 bucks an hour to blow my cpu,

IMO the PSU is about the WORST place to hide a watercooler. Not only does high amperage A/C+water=bad, so does hot air being pulled/pushed through a radiator.........
IMHO watercooling makes the most sense on a GPU anyways.
The only real advantage with watercooling a CPU is consistency in temperatures. My CPU doesnt run all that hot under load with a good quality COPPER (Zalman) hsf. Sure it'll be a bit cooler with water, but that doesn't necessarily mean huge advantages in overclocking with today's processors.
Nowadays overclocking is usually limited by RAM and not temperatures. Now go get yourself a 1.2 ghz Duron or something and that thing'll overclock all day on watercooling.
Now if you use a peltier or something water cooling is a must.
