Remember Delta fans?

Some of you will; back when overclocking meant pencil tricks, exploding bridges, external L2 cache, golden fingers and so on... It was the days when air cooling reigned supreme for all but the extreme enthusiast, and the louder the fan the better.

And this thing sounds just like the good old days:

Luckily, it's meant to live in a cabinet... but what is it?

1U Nas box :)

Looks like 4 3.5" hard drives up front, with a couple 40mm fans. Gonna be loud!!!

Either a 1U NAS box, or 1U Server Box, one of the two...

Definately reckon it's a block of space stilton with some bells and proverbial whistles attached...... maybe......

if CSI was real, we could enhance the slik screening on the two PCBs and get the make and model number off them :P

Heh, I still have a big old Delta focussed flow jobbie in the parts bin, just to remind me what a hoover they were. The 2U server I filched from work has 4 delta's in. Unplugged 3 & it's still too noisy really. But then, they're supposed to be in a AC Server room, not under my desk ;)

This thing actually drove me out of the room in which it's housed. It might not surprise you to know that when testing something like this, we don't store it in a rackmount in the datacenter... it's hard to take them apart in there.

It's a 1U something or other, but forget that delta fans are ace. I still have a couple of 120mm ones for stupid overclocking or when HSF's die.

And find out what, the manufacturer of a mass produced power switch panel, and some LEDs ?

Actually, they're bespoke to the manufacturer, in this case.

I stand corrected :p

And in my high res image... I can see the manufacturer name.


...get enhancing.

Being CSI, not only would we be able to read the text, they would tell us exactly what we want to know.... along with who killed JR probably :P
