When it comes to keeping computers cool, most of us still rely on old-fashioned air-cooling. Even when a PC is liquid cooled, a fan is still typically involved in blowing on the radiator to extract more heat. The other use for a fan in the area of your computer is to keep you cool. The
Arctic USB Fan is an example of a fan to keep you cool.
Antec (Japanese counterpart) has a new
USB LED fan available that is very large at 250mm, and is powered by none other than the USB port of the computer. It's not exactly clear if this fan is to cool your computer or to cool you. From the images, it appears to have a stand, so I am betting it's to keep you cool. The fan features LED lights that change into different colors at random intervals. The fan is a limited edition item with only 300 units available. Pricing is unknown and with the press release being in Japanese, the fan may only be available in Japan.
