1. A system for cooling computing components, comprising:

  • a computing rack housing a plurality of computing components of a computing system;

    a heat absorbing plate disposed in and being removable from the computing rack, the heat absorbing plate being thermally coupled to an outer surface of a computing component of the plurality of computing components, the heat absorbing plate comprising a plurality of walls defining a cavity containing a two-phase coolant, the cavity being a continuous volume allowing the two-phase coolant to absorb heat from the computing component and to transfer the heat to a heat transfer mechanism; and

    a sidewall of the computing rack being thermally coupled to the heat absorbing plate and comprising the heat transfer mechanism, the heat transfer mechanism being operable to receive the heat transferred from the heat absorbing plate.
