    HKD$295
    USD$37.8
    GBP£19.2

    It says on the site that the fans are 850rpm on high setting.

    Wow, it's pretty expensive, considering most of the fan here are priced only around $5-7 (though they only got 2 or 3 blowers). But gotta keep this in my shopping list, seems like a pretty powerful fan indeed!

    Where abouts do you live? I consider that price as pretty standard for a notebook cooler. Considering the NC-1000 is $50... :p

    i highly doubt that fan is noisy, its 25cm at a low RPM and only running on 5v.
    i would enjoy owning that cooler, it seems like everywhere BUT the USA gets these types of coolers.

    I live in Bandung, Indonesia. Most fans/notebook coolers here probably come from China, it's sold in pretty cheap price, but well... I couldn't see the difference. I remember bought a fan for $6, and it breaks about 2-3 months later. o_O

    that is just... INTENSE!! too bad it doesn't have an extra USB port. Can't wait to see how it stacks up against the Notepal's and the NC1000/2000 (which seems to be the current champ here on this site)

    If anyone knows where I can acquire one of these in Shanghai, it'd be greatly appreciated or anywhere in China as I can get it delivered and sent to work. Here for a month.

    If, not then I guess I'll wait until I get back to the US and get a Zalman's NC2000 but would really like to try one of these puppies first.

    Thanks in advance.

    I bet this thing is nice and quiet, and probably would last longer then the normal hyperspeed fans too, since the RPMs are lower. That'd be sweet to have. Plus, if you take off the grill,you could probably chop vegetables with it too. ;)

    Seems like this cooler has finally hit the US. Found it here for $70USD. http://www.directron.com/cp001b.html And it's now listed on the Enermax US site. I guess I'll pick one up when I get back to the US in 2 weeks time.

    I can't wait for the test figures on this thing. $70 is kinda pricey though considering the price point of the proven competitors on the market.

    The Enermax cooler posted is a rebranded recom 25 cm fan based laptop cooler, which came out over a year ago.

    That fan will not make your system float. You need at least 1000cfm to lift an average weight system up off the ground.
    If you want a metal fan with a 25cm dimension, get one of these:
    http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=P41GyhEsKL5wEhMHPOnWGw%3d%3d

    This one can be had for $155 and it is 606cfm.
    Oh yeah, it takes 80 watts of power, so you cant use USB as a power source
    There is nothing like a PAPST.

    Rpms may be low, but tips speeds are still high, so it could still be loud. I bet it's pretty loud at full tilt, but can quietly push lots of air at lower speeds.

    Would this thing be able to run off of usb power, or will it need to be plugged into the wall?

    Yeah, the price is one of the things I'm taking into account. It is pretty steep.
    I am considering the Zaman NC2000 though. I just want to be sure before I buy it.

    And I actually got a Razer DeathAdder for $24 at Circuit City already.

    i took a look at this cooler today, i was going to pick it up until i saw with my own eyes that this cooler does NOT fit a 17" widescreen like it claims. it runs short about an inch and a half on both sides.

    To me it would just look strange and could possibly tip the notebook over. its build quality and looks were really nice. I decided ill be going with the nc2000; too bad this one is pretty nice looking.

    Whenever you buy a fan/cooler, try to get one that uses ball-bearing fan(s), those will last much longer and also quieter. Yes there are 2 types of fans, the non-ball-bearing and ball-bearing ones. The ball-bearing ones normally cost a lot more.

    sorry enermax didnt do anything new and if anything just copied this one so, color me not impressed.

    Also build quality and design is much better on the CRF-102

    Product Page: http://www.digitalcowboy.jp/products/crf-102/index.html

    Things to note: adjustable tilt, folds flat, 2 colors, solid build, multiple usb ports.

    yes it should be less noisy that other fans as sicne it is bigger it can push more air at lower rpm that smaller fans that need to spin fater to make the same effect

    True only for fans of the same design, a superior design can beat a poor one the one I linked pushes 50cfm @ 18-20dba and 600rpm.

    The Aeolus is rated 17-20 dba so its the same in sound levels, 650-850 rpm so it actually spins faster even tho its a bigger blade (and only slightly larger you make it out to be a much larger blade) and they didnt even give us the CFM stat for the Aeolus and I can tell you from personal and professional experience that they almost always only do not give you stats when its to there disadvantage to do so, otherwise they give you every little detail they can when it is clearly better than other products.

    Plus me personally only use my cooling pad to cool my laptop as a secondary function, its the tilt it gives me to type on that is most important.
