Rosewill RCX-Z5-Ultra.....over the top.

I'm getting the idea that these cooler manufacturers are running out of ideas. They're simply making these things more and more strange looking, trying to sell them based on how unusual they can look, without a hint of functionality. Maybe somebody will luck out.....but I doubt it.

Take a peek at this baby! 130mm x 130mm x 130mm, uses a 2300RPM 60mm blower, claimed to be 20dBA. That would be reasonable for a 60mm fan...

You want to read more about the fancy Rosewell HSF Bluefront has brought to our attention? Read about the Auras CTC-868 here, with more photos of its folding nature on the next page. It has two 92mm fans, mounted on a triangular base like the TT V1 and MaxOrb fans. It's 113mmL, 105.4mmW, and 135.2mmH, weighing 568.5g and its recommended retail price is US$55.

I have a strong suspicion that the same product will be found under 5+ names around the world. Same thing with the "Xigmatek" HDT series. (I own a "Kingwin" Xigmatek HDT-S963. Only the name and the printing on the retail box has been changed (same box, new ink).

We seem to be entering an era of "badge engineering" with a vengeance! I assume everyone has noticed that the name on your DVD burner has absolutely nothing to do with who built it? :D
