Zalman TNN 500A - Complete Heatpipe Cooled Case

Posted by timothy on from the industrial-music dept.

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.

    I have a computer in my bedroom that I keep on all the time. Lately I've been kept up at night by the fan noise. The noisy fan in my computer also posted a troll on Slashdot and killed my cat. Thus, I'm quite happy to learn that this problem is history. Soon I shall get rid of my noisy fan, and... *stab* Oh no! The fan got me! I'm going down!

    Maybe it's like the SCO comments, and someone can translate it by substituting English letters for the German ones.

    It seems Babelfish is learning prose
    "Which one is to there still say, a piece of cream of the superlative. There I get damp eyes."
    It sounds like a Peter Murphy song or something. Anyone care to tell me what
    "Ja was soll man da noch sagen, ein Sahnestuck der Superlative. Da bekomme ich feuchte Augen."
    really means?

      I'm not a native German speaker, but I do know some German. I believe Babel is not that far off. You could translate it by:

      "So, what else should we say, this is really the Sahnestuck of Superlatives. I get tears in my eyes..."


      Now the Sahnestuck is still a problem, but it is indeed a word consisting of


      "Sahne" = Cream
      Stuck = Piece
      Cream is the final topping on the pie, so you could freely translate this by "the cherry on the pie"...

      In total we get:
      "So, what else should we say, this is really the superlative of the proverbial cherry on the pie. I get the tears in my eyes"

    For people who don't read the article, just continue as normal.

    Trust me, the original German isn't that much better. It sounds like a incoherent hyperactive autistic 5 year old wrote it. It's even below the usual /. standard.
