If you had it hooked up to some kind of coolig thing, the hotter it would get the more it would work, which would make it cooler, which would make the cooling work less, which would cause more heat to build up, which would make it work more...

so then with this could you overclock to no end? and have it cool the case or something else?

You would need a magical processor for that. Heat isn't the only barrier to overclocking. There is a limit to how much voltage you can pump into a CPU. Increased voltage increases circuit deterioration.

HAHA! Nice and portable too. Then Steve Jobs will come in and make a nano version. I want one in black.

Use 'em in your car--transform the heat from the engine into running your radio or headlights, w/e...this way, it gives the battery longer life.
