	Full Story Author: Steve Kerrison Published: Thursday 5th January, 2006 http://www.hexus.net OCZ, best known for its high performance RAM products, is entering the performance cooling market with its new phase-change cooler, the Cryo-Z. HEXUS can exclusively reveal details on the product, which will be unveiled later today (5th Jan). The Cryo-Z features a copper base to its compressor head and an 'industrial grade compressor' according to OCZ. The unit is enclosed within a relatively compact case of aluminium construction. On the front is an LCD display which provides a temperature readout. An emergency shut down feature is built in. While materials we've seen did not reveal pricing, they did state that the pricing of the phase-change unit will be economical, aiming it not just at the hardcore enthusiast, but at your broader enthusiast base also. This most likely includes those who would dabble in watercooling and beyond. Of course, you want to see the thing now, don't you? Well here you go:

Werd. Beige isn't my enemy for example, it's my friend that I love to hate.. if it wasn't for ugly, we'd never have to change anything.

Is it possible to remove the casing and place it in a case?

Considering the fact that the box it is housed in is about as wide as a normal case, it seems REALLY unlikely...but, never say never, cuz some crazy modder will do the impossible...
