Dell has always been expert at thermal engineering
Yes, I'm sure their early power laptop users would agree...
I don't like it. It looks like a giant heater, and would certainly be on the floor beside the desk if I was going to get one. And with that many obnoxious blue LEDs, you could do away with your Christmas tree and forget about ever sleeping with it switched on in your room.

The LEDs can be turned off you know.

There are several larger pictures of that case floating around on the internet. It actually looks pretty neat, although I'll still take my stacker over it easily. As for the "experts at thermal engineering" comment, the less said the better. :rolleyes:

Did you attach the included airfoil to it?

Nah, it clashed with my room decor. The landing lights on each speaker go very nicely, though. :p
