Liquid cooled Power Macs are leaking

LeaksImagine waking up one morning to find that a glowing green goo was dri ing from the cheese-grater bottom of your shiny Power Mac. Horrible even to imagine, I know. Unfortunately, this has become a reality for some owners of recent liquid cooled Power Macs.

According to reports, the leaks stem from malfunctioning Delphi radiators that shi ed in early versio of the systems. If you have an early 2.5 GHz liquid cooled machine, it might be worth sliding off the side panel to check for leaks. Naturally, if you do come acro a bit of Macintosh incontinence, stop using the machine right away, and schedule an a ointment at the nearest genius bar. As is always the case with product failures and A le, there is discu ion about weather whether the i ue will be covered by some sort of extended repair program for machines out of warranty. For now at least, it seems A le is choosing to fix most machines that come in with the problem.
