HP's Omen gaming division goes big with its Omen 45L gaming desktop. Cooling is helped by a separate Cryo Chamber housing the radiator outside the case. It also uses lots of name-brand parts, but the HP motherboard is the weak .

Hardly a game changer, this idea has been floating round since the early 2000s for example the Zalman Reserator.

Yeah, but from an OEM?

Still, I think the more important thing is that, while Dell has moved from mostly standard parts to making damn near everything proprietary (mb form factor, PSU, etc), it's good to see that HP is, at least for the Omen model, moving in the direction of using standard parts that can easily be swapped.

The MB is still a sticking point, but I think the right deal with the right MB maker, and hopefully even that should change.

If they haven't started going that way already, they should consider doing the same with other models, where feasible.

CaseLabs implemented a similar "Attic" or "Basement" to their cases that allowed you to have the Radiator in a seperate chamber for cooling.
