Dead PMG5: Another Leaky Cooling System

First, a report from Dominik:
It is my turn to report a dead PMG5 (Dual 2.5GHz) due to its leaky liquid cooling system.
The cost for being repair is over 1000 euros. I have tried to contact Apple to find an agreement in order to get the problem covered by the warranty. No way.
So, facing Apple's decision to ignore its responsibility with the faulty liquid cooling system, I decided to launch a legal action against Cupertino. First to collect all reports about PMG5 dying due to faulty cooling system: http://www.fusina.net/G5_coolant_leaks/.
As we can not initiate class action in Europe, I will use the French and European customer's protection system to sue Apple (personally or via customer's protection organizations).
I have been a Mac users since 1987, and this is the first time Apple decided not to discuss or negotiate with me regarding a technical issue for which they are obviously responsible.
If the number of reported cases is still not humongous, it is high enough to be significant, and should be considered by Apple as the potential sign for a REP. We are cautious, but we would not be surprised to see many reports of dead PMG5 due to leaky liquid cooling system in a near future; and as stated by Dominik, in France, such defect is defined as a hidden defect, and has no time limit of warranty. After the Airport Express problem still not solved by Apple, Cupertino might soon face a major problem with its liquid cooling system installed in PMG5 couple of years ago.
