can you buy a liquid cooling system for a g5 to replace the existing fans over the processor?

I'm sure someone will produce a liquid cooling kit in time.
Has anyone tried to modify a PC cooling kit for use in their Mac??

Is there a way to se liquid cooling or something like that instead of this obnoxiously loud fan in my emac? Do they make quieter fans that are easy to install? or something idiot proof? I'v never opened my mac other than to add ram, which really doesn't even scratch the surface. I really want a quieter computer (without it over heating).

I'm sure it could be done - replacing your current fan with something bigger with the same output. Water cooling could also be done... but it's hardly idiot proof. Making a self contained water cooling system in an eMac would present quite a challenge though. I'm sure it would be easier to do in a G5 tower where you have more room to work with. On a side note, aparently there is now a sony PC that is water cooled. I have yet to see it in person... but it looked pretty nice in the Best Buy add that featured it last week or so.

Almost forgot... check this out for H20 cooling... http://www.water-cooling.com/
The biggest problem would be getting a custom clip made to fit the processor water block onto a G5 processor. Again... i'm not sure how the G5 heatsinks mount as I'm new to the mac world.
