Bring Back The Asus CPU Upgrade Kit?

[computergeek]

For those of you not in the know this special piece of kit was quiet the hardware loving geeks party piece back in the day as it allowed you guys and myself to install a laptop CPU in a desktop motherboard CPU socket.
So naturally CPU cooling of the chip and overclocking them in a desktop PC machine was a mischievous but awesome thing to do.
But why oh why hasn't Asus done this again now that we're in 2012 with much better laptop CPU's at this present moment in time.
So who is with me on this and thinks it would be a brilliant idea for it to come back for the latest motherboards based on Ivy Bridge?

My question is, why would you really want to?
Desktop CPUs are made, if you get the right ones (K variants), to overclock well. Laptop CPUs are, for their performance, overpriced. Sure, you'd probably get good temps on them if you're running a D-14 or the like, but would you even be able to overclock them? A few bumps up on the BCLK maybe, but that'd be that.

Or, perhaps i'm totally out of my depth here, and laptop CPUs are actually overclocking beasts...
I'm open to this also.

Wasn't this mostly vaporware anyways?

Erm no lol because you could buy them and you still can on ebay also I used a Asus motherboard, I forget the model though.
But it was a deluxe-e motherboard, I think it was.
