Danamics LM10 Liquid Metal Processor Cooler Now Yours for 280 Euro
Exactly as promised, Danamics today announced the limited availability of what's claimed to be the first cooler to use liquid metal based technology to cool processors. The Danamics LM10 has generated much excitement since its first appearance, but the limited availability and the enormous price are going to kill the interest in such a product, at least that's what I think. European sites are now offering the LM10 here and here for the astonishing 280 Euro. Danamics also sells what they call a PowerBooster, an optional device that enhances the LM10's performance by providing its electromagnetic pump with more power, for around 128 Euro. Let's assume you want to buy the LM10, you'd need roughly 400 Euro or ~$510 for one of those. In return you'll receive a high-quality air cooler filled up with liquid metal and equipped with an electromagnetic pump that has no moving parts. The cooler is compatible with all Intel LGA 775, AMD AM2/AM2+ and AMD 939/754 sockets. I'm looking forward for a review of the Danamics LM10, it has to be one of a kind cooler to cost so much.

Oh and they are waiting to get the retail sample, so the nordic hardware review is a dud too. I'd rather have the prototype results now and see the retail difference (if any) when it's done. Yeah I'm impatient, but now it's released and still no-one has any idea on how it performs. Can't be good for business.
Its gotta be good, surely!!! :)

But seriously, there is no excuse anymore for bringing review this late, if they ever are going to. Tease and tease, maybe someone will buy them before the review that can't be good. You don't keep good news you want to tell them instantly, no matter how unfinished it is.
That's messed up.

just look though the review not worth looking at :( TRUE all the way
edit: On a positive note, the cooler it self looks nice, but the return power system is absolutely horrid. It should sell with the powerbooster and for the price of just the cooler. Powerbooster should also look a lot better and then the whole system would need a serious discount (or performance boost).
What amazed me the most in the review was how good TRUE did passively :-o People talk that it's a high airflow cooler, but those were impressive numbers for no airflow. Although it probably did have a case fan helping out, but so does every other passive fan too.
