Good stuff! I'm moderately into building gaming PCs and am writing this on my one which at two years old is positively ancient compared with state-of-the-art now but I agree about the heat pads. Interestingly someone at Devialet did tell me recently about the perils of air bubbles in their own thick blue heat pads and this was one worry when the units are taken apart. I understand it's not totally uncommon for dealers and Devialet to be told that a unit is getting hotter than it used to, and it's often due to the unit being opened and the heat pad not making full contact afterwards.
I've considered in the past a computer water-cooling unit on the top of the Devialet but effectiveness, practicality and potential downsides regarding background noise, EM noise etc. have always put me off. It would make more sense to have the fan and motors (say) the other side of a wall!
