PC Fan of the Future?
baptiste writes "While we marvel at the latest CPU release or new motherboard chipset, we still put the same old fans in the neon lit cases and then complain that it is too loud. Well, maybe someone has finally come up with the next generation PC fan. Y.S. Tech has announced a new fan which is driven at the blade tips by a magnetic motor in the housing. Without the motor in the middle they claim a 30% airflow improvement meaning, potenitally, you could get the same airflow of today's fans at a lower RPM meaning less noise. They also claim the fan tips result in the bulk of fan noise. In this design they are sort of enclosed, reducing noise further. There is also a PDF datasheet available."
Lets not forget the new nForce chipset based on DDR333 capible of up to 5.33GB/s. This is probably now the fastest chipset availible (soon to be) for socket A. This with the new GeForce 4 and the new Athlon XP should make for some interesting benchmarks.
Saying Java is nice because it works on all OS's is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders.
