World's Largest Heatsink

Standard Toaster

http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=1217&redirect=yes

Drawing an impressive 1400Watts of power, Zalman include a full instruction booklet on how to daisy chain 5 300W PSU’s together to power the fan, and you get 50 starter cartridges free to get it spinning in the first place. Of course, you’ll need a serious case upgrade too, and we would recommend the CoolerMaster 821 Garage, which comes with a tasteful variety of electronic doors and leaves enough room for even the largest GFX cards in SLI and a Nissan Micra too.

1400Watts of power...lol

I would love to see a pic of this thing actually mounted on a mobo attached to a case. Ridiculous.

Why not just have its own mains plug??

Clever bit of photoshoppage of the cnps9500.

The article header is "Zalman whips out 'Big-Boy' flower to whip P4 into submission", an obvious jibe at the expense of the p4 heat issues

Of course it is.

"...a full instruction booklet on how to daisy chain 5 300W PSU’s together...."

Sure that alone give it away. :v:
I thought it was funny anyway. Story dates from like last May I think

The author of that article forgot to mention the risk of creating a singularity:

I was talking to the Zalman guys today. There is a slight error in the article, it says that it was developed with British Aerospce, but I forgot to mention that they got the guys at Cern to do the bearings for them using there particel accelerator technology... hence the massive speeds, size and power consumption.

Unfortunately, given that the bearing is essentially a scaled down magnetic flux accelerator, they can't, at this time, shrink it anymore. This is due to the possibility of creating a singularity with the fan bearing at high speeds. They are working on it though.

ROFLMAO :v:

Hey, wait a sec guys....

What do you say now?

Obviously there for demonstration purposes not actually a working model.
If you saw a big inflatable coke can would you start posting saying OMFG look at the size of this can:rolleyes:
