Actually, I'm very interested in heatpipes.
We reviewed a (Zalman?) VGA cooler, but it turned out to be big, bulky, heavy, and didn't perform all that well. We also reviewed a CPU heatpipe cooler that actually worked very well (not Zalman).
Zalman went with heat pipes everywhere, which is probably why the case is so heavy.
So what I know is that it's going to be heavy (not that I care), expensive (a no-no for me), and that Zalman doesn't have a good record with heatpipes, so page 9 of the preview was clearly indicative of what this product is going to need: a fan. Kinda redundant for a fanless case.
So if I was a music afficionado, and really wanted complete silence, that's what I would pick, but otherwise, I'd stick to more conventional solutions. This is something that gmat would be all over.
As Cathar pointed in a thread over at OCAU, heatpipes will eventually add to the total heat resistance, so they're handicapped from the beginning. It's still possible for a heatpipe to work reasonably well though, but that's something that's really, really hard to do. Info on heatpipes is pretty scarce.
As for Alexa, I don't know anything about it, other than the name and the general function. If anything, I'd like to see the total individual hits for all nine pages of the preview, to see how many people read the whole thing.
Hit stats can be used to interpret many things, it's just like any statistics. One could say that ProCooling has less hits because it's more specialized, and so may not necessarily fall within a broad and general interest. How many times have we been called "anally retentive"?
What I don't get is why we're wasting this thread in endless chatter, and not discussing the product itself. Gmat, where are you?!?
