wow, very interesting. However the temp says 53 and it is doing absolutely nothing.

yeah, it might be. I figured it was a screen saver or something. anyone know what game?
jmke over at SPCR said the inside is just hollow, no maze or anything. Boo to scythe. Its just a prototype but I doubt, if it goes to production, that they'd add features. Still no word on the pump though

Aren't the fins on passive radiators supposed to be situated vertically, in order to maximize convection?

seen this before, anybody remember that thing that looked like a giant blue rocket ship? basically the same thing but twice the height, w/c companys need some new ideas.
My zalman reserator stands above my full tower case. I think thats a mid tower in that picture so the zalman is taller but that diffenatly has more surface area I like how they put the lines at the top and bottom better flow of water over more surface. Only thing that worries me is those fins look thin what if you bump into it, those fins will bend easy.

Yes. That design doesn't seem to take full advantage of the dissipated heat to generate air flow. It looks rather like a baseboard heater standing on its end, and unless I'm missing something, it would work better mounted horizontally like a baseboard heater.Perseus said:
