Shuttle I.C.E. heat-pipe technology?

Going to build a new LAN box using the Shuttle SN45G with a 2500+
(unlocked); 1 gig Samsung 2700 (with heat spreaders).

Anyone used or know anything about the I.C.E. technology that comes with the
box? It looks like it replaces the cpu fan one would normally use.

Anyone built one of the Shuttle boxes and have comments about the I.C.E.
system?

Any comments or feedback on use of I.C.E. for cpu cooling, setup and how
effective it is (or not) for overclocking? Can it be removed if you don't
want to use it?

Well, it works -- and you are right, you don't need any other cooler.
OC'ing can be done too -- tried some with different systems. The fan
in the back thus gets noisy running at higher speeds.

It can be removed, but you still will need to have the fan attached in
the back -- this also cools down the system in genral.
