tech, for a while. It's all solid-state, no moving parts.They are interesting, but what they are is merely heat pumps; you also need to carry the heat away with the flow of some material (eventualy to be pumped outside of the building). [Radiative cooling is not really applicable for the required rates of heat transfer; it'd require equipent to be hot way past the point of melting :)]
Useful for a hybrid approach though - the big problem with liquid cooling is that the fluid and/or any condensed air vapour gets to flow inside a case with (at least theoretically) swappable parts; difficult to arrange that nothing requires either disconnecting and draining, or risks puncturing a fluid carrier. By using purely solid-state components (and some sort of thermal carrier paste) you could arrange for even hot-swappable (not an intentional pun BTW) components to be able to pump their heat to a thermal element on the outside of the case, which in turn is threaded with coolant pipes for a fluid-based system to expel heat to the outside of the building.
