Novac intros external HDD enclosure with sizable cooling fan

by Darren Murph, posted Aug 22nd 2007 at 11:04PM


Paranoid about excessive heat? Looks like the folks at Novac share your worries, as the NV-HDS392U external hard drive enclosure packs one of the largest, most prominent cooling fans you're likely to find in such a device. Boasting an all-aluminum frame and measuring in at 2.16- x 7.2- x 4.69-inches, this unit plays nice with any 3.5-inch IDE / SATA hard drive that you've got hanging around, and connects up with your Mac or PC via USB 2.0. If things get a bit heated, users can simply flip the "on" switch to crank up the side-mounted cooling fan, and those interested can snap this one up early next month for ¥4,980 ($43).

Evercool Magic fan cools notebooks, messes up souls

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Jun 22nd 2007 at 5:26PM


Evercool, a company long-respected amongst modders for its extensive line of fans, heatsinks and related peripherals, has taken a strange and surprising turn towards the occult with its new laptop fan, the Magic. Sure, it will cool your laptop down with its patented design, 180-degree "wind position switch", and glowing, circular lights, but what is it doing to your eternal soul? If its wacky website animations are any indication, flame-ringed pentagrams are in your future.

Wii cooling fan solves a problem you didn't have

While we've played our Wii for hours on end (must...save...Hyrule) without noticing anything really warming up, Chinese outfit Firstsing is showing off this clip-on cooling fan anyway. The USB-powered fan plugs into one of your Wii's USB ports -- blocking the other one, it seems -- and pumps a little more air through the box, just in case that Wii Sports session gets a little too, um, heated. Just the thing to muscle up the Wii like its two hotter, louder next-gen competitors, eh?

Bizarre PSP mod adds a cooling fan, utility in question

by Darren Murph, posted Feb 7th 2007 at 5:37PM

The overheating syndrome has struck just about every area of consumer electronics possible, and while spinning that UMD might get your fingertips ever-so-toasty, we haven't heard any mass outcries of PSPs getting hot enough to cook breakfast on, but apparently none of that matters. In a rare case of besting an already questionable mod just days ago, this DIY installation is a real head scratcher, as Acidmods details how to install an actual cooling fan onto the rear of your Sony handheld. Your guess is as good as ours as to why this hack-job is actually beneifical, but if your only alternative is obliterating your PSP with a sword, we guess we'll have to recommend you hop on over and get your hot gluing on -- but only after you've mastered the art of stuffing three AAA cells into its battery pack, cool?
