Zalman TNN 500A - Complete Heatpipe Cooled Case
SlashCrunchPop writes "Zalman is about to release a completely fanless computer case based entirely on heatpipe cooling capable of keeping even the hottest CPUs cool. Cool silence, at last?" The article's in German, but the pictures speak for themselves.
European? No. Ignorant? Yes. CPUs, no matter the heat limitations, require a certain wattage to operate properly and at the right speed. AMD and Intel CPUs both require between 300 and 450 watts of power to operate. That's equivilent to an all electric kitchen at the least. And in as such, they generate a huge amount of heat (in my own experiences, a 7200 RPM HD and my P4 1.5 Ghz is enough to keep my bedroom warm during the winter).
If you don't like this, I suggest you move back to Pentium MMX 200-266, or similar AMD K6 CPUs. You can't really do anything multimedia wise with 'em (except play MP3s, video files will suffer), but they will do the job otherwise.
Just because you can mod me down, doesn't mean you're right. Shoes for industry!
