		<description><![CDATA[I am old enough to remember the 1960&#8242;s when IBM Mainframes used de-ionized water delivered by micro-bore pipes to cool the CPUs. (In fact I remember a spillage during a mainframe move that resulted in every single auto spares shop in south east England being raided for deionized water). In a recent statement IBM claim that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are all trying to fix the unfixable in the Data Centre. How do we get more cooling capacity from sites we built a decade ago for low power density applications? One of the biggest problems is that everyone is trying to work against a basic law of physics; hot air rises, and cold air [...]]]></description>

It shows such a simple and easy to implement Green initiative that costs chump change and can take 15% off your electricity bill overnight.
