look like they would be suited well to watercooling.
just might have to try and get some of these
Look better if they were compared with other brands like Dalta \Pano fans as well.
And Scythe does make really nice fans.
these new fans may well be my next fans as i will recommend the older fans to anybody as i love mine and im sure these are even better.
edit- its in the news section but it wont show up on the first page?

It was unbelievably loud, lol. It had a warning on it saying DO NOT CONNECT TO A MOTHERBOARD... I measured it and it initially drew about 6amps on start up and settled at about 2.5.
You could hold it at arms length away from you and it would blow your hair right back... What a beast.
Man that would have been loud :p
How is that even a practical product lol.
