For those interested in keeping your CPUs cooler than ever, maybe even cooler than a liquid system (maybe) but using air, then keep a lookout for this cooler. It's up to 30x more efficient than the cooler that came with your last CPU purchase, is far quieter and will not collect dust. It's also smaller, because instead of using a heatsink + fan combo like every other air cooler on the planet, with the Sandia cooler, the heatsink IS the fan.
That looks totally cool!
Sweet! I love ingenuity.
Hmm, who is going to be the first to get this?
And who is going to give me the $$$$ for this one. Have to talk to the wife.
RETIRED. NO JOB. NO MONEY. NO WORRIES!
Crunched SETI Classic to the end.

It should be cheaper, not more expensive.Originally Posted by c303a

Looks like a GREAT meat grinder to have in a machine! Just the thing to put your finger into while probing around. All those exposed machined edges to slice fingers or any wire that might bump in to the fan 'assembly'.
But a nice protective shroud to protect people and make sure it does not do a very good job any more, so that the old fan makers can compete I sure will fix that problem!
BOINC Sees it - BOINC DOES it!

All that sounds fine and lovely except it spins counter-clockwise, so no finger or wire chopping

LOL, Nicely said.
@JPM, LOL
As a people, we are too stupid. Therefore we let lawyers and law makers make us safe...and we end up more stupid. It's accelerated anti-darwin, around a black hole. Stupid should hurt. Touch fire, it hurts, teaches us to NOT do that. That makes us smarter. When there is no down-side to stupid (too-big-to-fail, Greece, Stockton, etc), the sad end is inevitable. We have very recent, obvious examples, all predicted by everyone. Of course, being stupid, we all think it won't happen to our town, our state, our country. We are too stupid.
Edit: oops. sorry. i was responding to the "people might stick their finger into a blender" comment. And then I got derailed.
