    When's the last time you dusted between the fins on your radiators?
    never, and they're clogged up with dust. Dropped a pen down there the other week. Was a job getting it out, and when I did succeed..... well

    I was impressed by this in the recent PC Perspective Podcast. I do wonder about the engineering ideals though, surely it would be better to have it say 60% the weight and put one large slow fan in it for almost silent operation?
    Still I guess they are appealing to a niche perhaps audio producers etc will go for it. Good luck to them.

    Is MXM or PCIe still the future?

    I quite like this idea, trying to convince friends these days to get a PC is impossible, but these more compact forms would help get them off consoles.
