Doesn't matter, really. Normal silicon chips in the forseeable future, little or no speed increase, mostly will be efficient and cooler ones, maybe quad cores...

What Post said. You can only go so small before power consumption and heat output grow too big to be worthwhile.

Now what does look interesting is plastic chips which can be printed with an ordinary inkjet printer, allowing flexible circuitry for flexible screens and so on.

Water cooling has its advantages, if you want to overclock your computer to rival Deep Thought without making any noise.

Now what really is nice is the Vapochill case. It's basically a computer case that's a freezer. -10C under load temperatures ftw!

I think it's big enough - it's got something silly like 10 optical drive bays. You could easily swap the 8 of those you're never going to use for a food compartment.
