That isn't traditional liquid cooling PER SAY, in fact even powerbooks (and some ibooks I think) use that system..

It's called a heat pipe cooling system. By 'moving' the heat to another part of the case it's able to provide an even bigger cooling surce (2 heatsinks instead of one!)

the heat pipes DO have liquid, but it's sealed in a vacuum so yeah. G5s use this within their heatsink too

My TiPB has metal tubes running around also. I just never seen a radiator like that before. It's not a typical heatsink with large fins. It looks more like a car radiator or AC coil. Neat stuff.

It's actually just a venting heatsink.. odd design but anyway, yes Powerbooks do have this and it's partial reasoning for the 'sizzling' noise you hear in some powerbooks.
