Jeeeesssss....

Why not just water cool if you want to over clock that bad.

Arayenya · Post by **Arayenya** » Tue May 31, 2005 3:36 pm

Two words for that thing:

Holy Crap

I'm not sure if i want to believe that as being serious or not. Needing to daisy chain 5 300 watt PSUs to just run the fan? That's outright scary - why not run a power cord right to a wall outlet. It'd be a hell of a lot cheaper.

Of course you are right with saying why not go with water cooling. Heck.. get 2 of those fans, attach some wings to the computer... and you could pretend you have a jet powered pyro. I just don't want to think about what happens when you run out of power cord...

LOL what the hell? 25 cubic meters per second! 1400 watts power? Starter cartridges? LMAO. Just get a freakin phase cooler if you are going to go that far.

That's the most idiotic thing I've seen in a long time.

You don't think that's for real do you?

If you do, you also need to know that The Oxford Dictionary missed out the word "Gullible" in the latest edition!

LMFAO!

Arayenya · Post by **Arayenya** » Tue May 31, 2005 10:13 pm

Well the more I look at it the more it seems pretty obvious that it can't be real. However, that being said, I can guarantee you that there would be someone out there who would want a CPU fan that big, and after seeing a pic like that... well someone is going to try.

I have watercooling, and I want one, just to see it.

Grendel · Post by **Grendel** » Tue May 31, 2005 11:55 pm

x2 -- always wanted a fan w/ 52980 CFM tho

I didn't think they'd start using industrial grade fans for a PC...

It's a display folks!!

Did you look at the comical Reference to small pets a CoolerMaster with their GARAGE model with an Electric DOOR and a NISSAN car!!!!

You Guys ARE TOOLS!!!!! (Exception Grendel and Mobius for seeing it as a farse)

Arayenya · Post by **Arayenya** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 12:21 pm

Yeah yeah, burst our bubble, lol. It had me going at first, I will fully admit that. I -still- think that there is someone out there who is going to try and make something like it. Maybe not with the same air push abilities mind. Hell I think a lot of actually -want- something this outrageous to be real because, well.. its just so outrageous.

edit - PS: Though it would make sense that the thing would be a hazard to small pets...

[quote=site]Developed with the help of the British Aerospace wind tunnel engineers, the BBTMF can pump enough air to pop you double glazing out, so it comes with several precautionary notes, mainly involving the suction and loss of small pets whilst in the vicinity of your machine. [/quote]

Yeah... that clinches it. Fake.

All thats missing is that you have to hand-crank the fan blades to start it up!

Grendel · Post by **Grendel** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 7:09 pm

Not really:

..and you get 50 starter cartridges free to get it spinning in the first place.

That's how planes where started back in the good ol' times

Too late now ferno, you had your chance!!!

It would be nice if they made and oscilating desktop fan for hardcore gamers that looked like that!!!

WHOOOOOOSH!

That was the sound of the joke flying right over your head...

Grendel · Post by **Grendel** » Thu Jun 02, 2005 3:16 pm

My point was that their joke was better than your attempt

(IMVHO of course)

Ya but dont you think that they may actually have been kidding about its power consumption and need for starter packs?

Ferno · Post by **Ferno** » Sun Jun 05, 2005 2:48 pm

that goes without saying.
