    That is an eye-catching transparent design from xigamatech, I love how the fins are shaped a bit unorthodox but it works and from the benchmarks it seems inaudible too, I'd love to hook one up to my Sentry 2 and see how it performs...

    Looks pretty sweet. Will remember to take these into consideration when it's time to get some fans for my watercooling loop

    Watching someone else use your computer is like watching a drunk orangutan solve a rubix cube. They have no idea what they're doing and you just wish they'd hand you the damn thing so you can do it yourself.

    I used a pair of these on an Armageddon CPU cooler and I loved them. Excellent fans!

    Wow. I'm definitely impressed! Do they make other colors as well or just the blue? That airflow to noise ratio is amazing. I wasn't expecting the straight blades to perform like that!

    Wow, those shots of the fans in action look amazing. I will definitely put them at the top of my list for fans. And they work fantastically well to boot

    I love the look of the pinwheel effect of the LEDs on the fan blades. It's nice to see a manufacturer making fans that are lit in colours other than the standard blue.

    Also, great idea for the spotlight! It seems like there would be plenty of options for this type of writeup. Look forward to seeing more!

    Nice fans, quite and great performers.

    Also I really like the idea for this. It can make choosing minor parts easier for those of us who don't get to play with a lot of different things on a regular basis. And besides giving away stuff is always good for morale

    That is exactly why we decided to feature the smaller stuff this way. We looked out into the net and saw that no one was reporting on the smaller stuff on a regular basis.

    You can look forward to many more of these in the coming year. Already lining up new products now!
