Evercool "Personal Computer Air Conditioner"?

[Oliver_FF]

Ok so at the moment i've got a 120mm fan sucking air into my case through 3 unused 5.25" drive bays on the front of my case. I was just browsing around the net just now looking for something a little less tacky (gotta love bluetack and a bit of mechano) and I stumbled over one of these weird things.

Specifications:

Outline Dimension : 82x80x67.2mm
Fan Dimension : 80x80x25 mm
Rated Voltage : 12 V
Current : 0.07A ~ 0.13A
Fan Speed : 1100 ~ 3000 rpm
Air Flow : 53.2 ~ 100 CFM
Noise: Lo< 21 , HI<23dBA

Now, 53-100CFM? 21-23dBA? 1x5.25" drive bay? Can this be true???! Does it even blow in a sensible direction? The pic of it in black looks like it sucks from below and blows backwards?

Three of those would pack quite the punch... :rockout::rockout:

Oh this sheds a little more light on it...

However, 3 of those hacked up a little could be a bit mindblowing... :O:O:O:O

They work horribly. I read on a review on them somewhere.

Don't suppose you know roughly where you saw that?

According to google:

100 (cubic feet) = 2.83168466 meters cubed

Might like to have a look for this:

It takes up 3 5.25" bays, but then again, it's a full 120mm fan. Not bad looking, and a good use for the space, imo.

Oliver that product looks interesting...but I question them since the moving airstream (if it in fact channels on it's exhuast side) would be very narrow...maybe okay to aim at your processor if it in fact is as high CFM as they state....the air would be noisy through a smaller space.

I would much rather use a full sized fan that may blow 50-70CFM over a larger area...kinda like comparing a high CFM 80MM to a similar CFM 120mm fan...at least in my findings the 120mm fan will still cool better due to the larger area covered by moving air.
