Shadow started scuba diving and the word on the street is that he refuses to use a traditional diving belt with lead weights,
Instead Shadow has a dive belt that has 20 golden orbs stapped accross his waist.

I'd believe that except...
I really don't think Shadow ŌÓ would have that many of those lying around. :)

I wasn't really paying attention to the title at first...
What do you mean by "besides cooling"?

Well for the lower end of the T-bird spectrum, at which I sit at currently, it is baseline adaquete cooling. I also remembered someone turned an orb into a waterblock.
I wanted ideas other than that :D

:cool: Whats wrong with an Orb? I have used other h/s fans on my bird and the Orb. does the best job. Maybe they don't work will on Socket cpu's but work very well on slots.

Lets see.....maybe:
* Use it as a hair remover (for those guys with more hair on their back than on their head :eek: ) Probably better than that goop crap (Nadz??:rolleyes:, haha).
* Use it to hold down multiple AOL CDs as you microwave them (ZAP!!)
* Use it as a repeller (THROW IT AT THEM!! haha) for those annoying people that claim they know everything about computers (i.e. they think AOL 8.0 is the best thing since AOL 7.0 :mad: ICK!!)
* Rig it on a series of strings near your keyboard so when you push a button, it makes the 'lil orbie fall on your keyboard hotkey for "Overclockers.com". Lazy mans quick link.
* Use it to open BEER!! MMMmmmm BEEeEeErRRRR.....:D
* Make a clock out of it, so you know when you can start drinking BEER!! or maybe STOP!! lol (But then who really goes by a clock to drink *shrugs* heh)
* Attach it to your 'lil hampster on his 'lil rollerblades, then strap a battery to it and watch him GOoooo......
* Make it the center of a snowball the next time you have a snowball fight (OUCH!!)
* IF all else fails, put some LEDS on IT!!!!
"If you can't overclock it or strap a fan on it, put some LEDS on it!!"-me

ROFL , just thought of some more
* A fashionable earring
(has dual uses, fashion, and if you have some 9V's, Cooling for those hot summer days, just don't go moving your head too fast ladies....)
* For those strippers out there, it could be quite a cover for their nippleez, heh especially when the fans start going, lol :p (I feel sorry for the guy that gets too close to those puppies, there goes your finger)
* Use it to stir mixed drinks. Nothing like an Orb to get that margarita mixed up well. (who needs a blender when you have an Orbie, heh)
use four to lift case so the bottom fan can get more air

Even for the slot A I donīt see the Orb as a decent cooler. Not enough surface area and to less cfm. it gets the job done, ok but thatīs about it.
<===That is a cooler!
