Tweaker writes "We just posted the first installment of an ongoing article dedicated to the latest designs and innovations for cooling your PC. The Next Generation Fans roundup starts off with five different models from four different manufacturers." I would have liked to have seen the dB rating for each fan- I've had some fans that really were great, provided I was wearing noise cancelling headphones while sharing a room with them. I have the Antec Tricolor fans they review in my case- they are gorgeous, but audible.

Star Trek? by Ark · 2002-10-26 02:16 · Score: 5, Funny

I was really disappointed when I read the article. I thought it was going to be about fans of Star Treg TNG. I guess I'll have to put the vulcan ears back in the closet. *sigh*

I bet these things sound like a hovercraft at take-off. Sound cancelling? Sure...as soon as you go deaf, you won't hear them anymore.

Other than that, kinda nifty.

Fans - I was thinking of music supporters! by sapped · 2002-10-26 02:49 · Score: 3, Funny

When I saw the heading, "Next Generation Fans", my first thought was. "Finally, somebody is starting to use this genome mapping thing properly and they have started breeding better music supporters. (i.e. people that don't slavishly follow everything that gets poured down their throats. Of course nobody on /. does that.)"

Oh, never mind. I guess it was just me.

Yup. An incredibly useless review that should never have been posted. Where are the fans from Verax, with the newly designed rotors - they are the quietest fans currently available. Where are the Vantec tip-motor fans?

Pretty lights. Useless! I bet he has a 3-foot spoilier on the back of his Honda too.

Next generation fans? Because they are different colors? HELLO?

Intel just came out with its next generation CPU! At approximately 100% the performance of current models, it sports a BLUE color! The industry has been revolutionized!
