Computex 2006 - Taipei : Jet turbine drives airflow in XClio chassis

[Tarinder]

OK, we're getting a little carried away by that headline, but take a look at this Computex 2006 Headline. for more info.

Not a fan of the lights, but a case like that, some huge passive coolers, and silence!

Anyone pulled a tape measure on that side fan?

[TheVoice]

The black one looks fairly nice, but the big silver thing just looks horrible and tacky.

Though this is coming from someone who owns an Antec P160 with a window and some blue LED fans, so....

I would imagine the side fan is 12.5cm.....the majority of new cases with side fans are using these...

There's a case I saw a few weeks/months back that had a mahoosive fan on the side - easily took up almost all of the side panel.

Can't remember who made it, but I'll keep my eyes open.

Wasn't this one by any chance? http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=352344

Is the mirage being shown at Computex? or is it a secret?

mind you, having a small and quite crap case , for ages, i never really realised quite how big 12cm was in terms of fans - a fan the size of a cd?! and then along comes Akasa with 25cm?!?!?

Well I have a 120mm in the same position on my tower & if you ask me, its a very sensible place to put a large fan - you get cool air for your graphics cards, CPU, chipsets, mosfets, everything.
