2 of those Hard Drives are 74GB Raptors which will be in RAID 0, and the other two are Maxtor 250GB's also to be run in RAID 0. The RAM is OCZ Platinum Extended Latency.
dont mind the date and time, it asked me for the date, so I just skipped it.
What are heat pipes?
A heat pipe is a device has an extremely high thermal conductivity, and is used to transport heat. In order to achieve this, heat pipes take advantage of simple physical effects:
As a liquid evaporates, energy - in the form of heat - must be taken from the environment. Therefore, an evaporating liquid will cool the surrounding area. This is how a heat pipe effectively cools the heat source. However, this doesn't get rid of the heat; heat is just transported with the vapor. At the target side for heat transport, the heat pipe must be cooled, for example using a heatsink. Here, the inverse effect takes place: The liquid condenses, and therefore emits heat.
Using these effects, it is possible to build heat pipes that have a thermal conductivity that is many thousand times higher than a copper piece of the same size. Note that unlike Peltier elements, a heat pipe does not consume energy or produce heat itself. It is also not possible to cool a device below ambient temperature using a heat pipe.
