Dolch Computer Systems' (Milpitas, CA) PAC-586, a Pentium-based portable, uses a liquid-cooling technique to eliminate the need for large cooling fans and big heat sinks. Dolch's liquid-cooling technique, which the company uses in its Mach portable computers, uses a combination of a fluorocarbon gel and a heat sink, according to Steve Fritz, spokesman for the company. As the Pentium chip gets hot, heat is conducted through the gel to a heat sink that transfers the heat throughout the metal skin of the portable's inner chassis. The PAC-586, which starts at about $6000, is designed for people who need a highly expandable, luggable PC.
