Cool but I don't see the point, you move it outside it still takes up space... Only thing it'd be practical for would be laptops.

Laptops and for hardcore reviewers would be my 2 main choices for best use of the products.
However, CPU/RAM OCing could benefit as well by removing the biggest heat source in most (sir cooled) SLi rigs.
I could also see the potential benefit for 1-2u rackmount rigs as well.
