This is an idea I had in mind for a while: using heat pipes in a CPU block so that water could have more surface coverage. Imagine my surprise when I saw the concept being realized by Thermaltake. It's by no means what I had in mind but the design seems promising and I think it opens up a new field of possibilities, they call it the Aqua RX Series-R2 UFO CPU Waterblock (whoa, longest name I've ever seen on a cpu block):

Before the usual trolling and flaming shows up about Thermaltake having bad products for W/C to which I agree to some extent, let me warn you that this block falls within good specs as far as I can see. It uses copper not aluminum and it's got 3/8" fittings which are widely accepted But above all it's the design that deserves the most merit since I think there is a lot of potential for other companies to capitalize on this concept. Having said that, what do you think?
