would not mind that, but also keep in mind for the consumer those systems can go lethal if not handled well… like a pressure boiler out of control scenario, however I could see some good possible consumer ideas that would not cost and arm and a leg and with possible lesser violent fluids, and maybe with it dropping lets say CPU temp to constant 20C and GPU to below 40C on max workload? could see the benefits from it likewise heavier OC's as well, even stable.

More likely cost an arm and two legs, aimed squarely at dedicated and well-off overclockers.

Surprised that Asetek aren't providing the new solution in the first place. I remember their Vapochill XE PC cases from the 2000's providing phase changing based cooling for the consumer market, with drool worthy and highly dodgy sub-ambient temperatures that could even tame a NetBurst P4.

That pump's in the wrong place for a traditional pumped chase change cooling system (i.e. like the one in your fridge) - either this is a normal heat pump with a bad diagram (which wouldn't be a bad choice for the server applications they're targeting), or a roided AIO.

It looks like a good approach, the pump will give you flexibility in mounting while only needing similar power levels as a traditional AIO pump (since it's just moving fluid, not making the fluid change phase). It also means no worries about sub-ambient cooling

I'd be more worried about the toxic refrigerant leaking than an explosion.
