Given the cost of 24 of them, you can probably buy solid silver heatsinks watercooled with tears of sysadmins.

Hey! You leave me out of your twisted fantasy!

I just want....I just want hard drive prices to come back down. *sniffle*

I was going to say blood of virgins, but tears are probably better heat conductors.
I tempted to say that blood is better one. Among other things blood has iron, while tears just salt. Last, but not least it's for thermoregulation of the body.
If we're evaluating blood and tears for cooling, I'd argue that sweat is significantly better as a renewable resource, and also specifically adapted towards evaporative cooling.
The tears of sysadmins are fairly cheap though.
It may be the only resource that truly scales with demand.
