I'm glad SOMEONE is doing something with this... I'm a little disappointed it's Tt though

So you yell at Thermaltake for not being innovative, but you're disappointed with them when they ARE Innovative? I smell double standards.

They didn't innovate anything... they bought a complete product and hired someone to produce it.

What? This product didn't exist on the market before Thermaltake put it into production. Sure, there were similar prototypes, but I haven't seen any that have a metal fan in the middle that spins with a heatsink assembly on the outside. This is unique, they didn't steal anything this time.

I never said that they stole it, but rather that they likely bought the patent and found a producer for it. That's not innovation. However if they didn't buy the rights to it, then yes it's stealing

(edit:) All I was saying was that I was hoping this would get picked up by a company with a history of more innovation and less... well you know... in hopes that it could become something more than it already is

Your finger is the least of your problem: you've got heavy metal blades spinning at 2800 RPM inside a case protected by a flimsy acrylic piece: you've got yourself a fucking grenade with shrapnel ready to wreck your pc and yourself.

Assuming the rotating part has a diameter of about 70mm, the fastest any of it will move is 37 kph = 23 mph. Not really anything to worry about.

There were prototypes with static heatsinks around the spinning part. But of course we shouldn't claim infringement at this point. It could be licensed.

Fair enough. Maybe more than one company has the licencing for this. I'd love to see what Cryorig or Raijintek would do with the licence.
