Our ability to study the hard X-ray emission in non-magnetic CVs has improved dramatically within the last decade. We review the important results on X-ray eclipses and dips, the current state-of-the-art in the modeling of X-ray spectra of CVs, then present some recent results on the hard X-ray emission from high accretion rate non-magnetic CVs. These results point to potential areas of conflict with accretion disk theories: the fate of the inner disk in quiescence, and the amount of material above the orbital plane. We conclude with some speculations on where near-future X-ray missions might take this field over the next decade.
