    they are pretty cheap
    the first one, the xfocus is 99cdn w/o psu
    and the i-cute is actually cheaper, its 75cdn w/o psu

    pccanada.com is the store site that i found them on, so anyone that lives in the GTA downtown toronto is where to get them.

    but i think you can buy them online from this place, not sure

    the 2nd one would make a cool watercooling project, i wonder if you could fit a small 120mm rad in front, that would look sweet

    The first one looks almost just like a Mac G5, except in black.

    i think the site said its just a propeller and the fan behind it will make it spin with the air coming in, i guess it depends on how powerful the fan behind it is,

    It should work the same way a still fan (or a pinwheel, for that matter) spins when you blow on it.

    Praise the lord for that. Do you guys realise how loud fan-turbine engines are?!!!

    On a purely technical note - what is shown isn't actually a turbine - it resembles the fan module from a turbine engine. Turbine blades look quite different to fan blades. Fan blades are designed to suck air in (as shown in the picture) whereas turbine blades are designed to be propelled by hot-air gasses and thus drive the fan blades through a drive shaft.

    Sorry for boring you guys - I knew my 14 years in the aircraft business would come in useful eventually!!!!

    Perhaps the second case should have a 10 second count down for lift off!!!!
