I can understand seeing the picture of it, certainly it does look a bit clunky. I'm also not sure how a centrifugal fan like that would work without some kind of housing to keep the incoming and outgoing airstreams seperate.(or were you planning to duct into the center with a blow hole or something?)

It is an interesting idea at any rate. I see lots of negative comments about the standard axial fans we use (loud, poor performance pulling through a rad, etc.) but not much discussion of alternatives....
