Review: Waffer Tech PC AirCon PAC 400

GlitterKill · 03-June-05, 02:16 PM

Lokie has a new review up on an interesting little "PC air conditioner" from the folks at Waffer Tech. I have a feeling this isn't the last incarnation of this idea...

Check it out here.

I forget the make/model, but there is a case with one of built into the bottom of it..been seen recently at either E3 or CES. The front loading ones arent that great I feel....and the sace the air is allowed to flow through is somewhat restricted. If you could mod one of those it may have far better results.

interesting concept...I'm not sure what 2-3degress will actually gain you in performance.

Nicely done review as usual LOKIE...

I read through the review, and saw the person trying to sell it here on the pimp rig forums a few days ago. Personally the thing looks like it's worth about 50 bucks or less, although it does use components that bring up its cost.

The entire time I read that review I was thinking to myself: "Wow it's a cool idea, but a separate unit or one that would fit into two drive bays would be so much more accepted."

No self respecting modder would plant that sore thumb on the front of his case without going to town on the design.

Yeah, I agree. I was thinking this would be more of a tool to test out possible over heating systems....but you can just allways pull a panel off for that..

I tried one of the Waffle PC AirCons in a Chenming 602A and got absolutely zero cooling, probably due to the increase in space within the case. It is loud as all get-out on the 'snow' setting and will absolutely drive you batty within an hour if you're in the same room!
