if by chemicals you mean refrigerants and the POE/mineral oils then yes it does. its what i linked to before and what TB4O was linking to with the ocz unit.

I'm getting rid of some of my W/C stuff, dual core block, 120 rad, and intel north-bridge heatsink. Gonna upgrade to the quad block and 240 rad.
Not sure about upgrading the waterblock though, DD released a quad one... but its only about a 5-10c difference in heat...
like always with quads, dteck fuzion or apogee GTX :)
Apogee GTX all the way.
Excellent guide, spawn. Exactly the kind of info I have been looking for. Thanks for helping us newbs out.

Prepare to drool, Water Cooling Enthusiasts. Allow us to introduce you to the World's First DC Inverter Type Micro Refrigeration Cooling System, the cold, bold and beautiful Thermaltake XPRESSAR RCS100 Case. Thanks to it's revolutionary patented technology, the Thermaltake Xpressar utilizes a complex micro compressor and refrigerant to cool the PC, allowing the user to maximize their over-clocking limitation and performance.
Built to deliver a consistently cold temperature, the Xpressar Micro Refrigeration Case is 20ºC cooler than your average liquid cooling system. The case itself is a micro vapor-compression refrigeration system, which is one of the most widely used methods for air-conditioning of large public buildings, hotels, hospitals, cars, and many other establishments. This elaborate system uses a circulating liquid refrigerant, which absorbs and removes heat from the space to be cooled, causing the heat to be rejected elsewhere.
In addition, the case is also equipped with intelligent IC controller to prevent condensation, and offers thermal resistance that can be <0.02 ºC/W under 100% loading. Even though it's capable of delivering such a high range of performance, the Thermaltake Xpressar still manages to deliver a minimal amount of noise.

EDIT a mere $699.00
Just need to know one thing: How well does it perform compared to liquid cooling? I never trust what the manufacturers say, but if its significantly better than high-end liquid cooling... :drool:
I have heard very bad things about that unit, I would touch it, even if it wasn't Thermaltake.
