Second fan? Why does everyone think these things need a second fan? Just because the friggin' S9 has two fans to clear 1.5KW from a case the size of an adult shoe doesn't mean everything needs two fans.

Seriously. The highest heatsink temperature I've yet marked was about 60C on full blast with the provided fan. Two fans is only really necessary when you need high pressure and this guy's heatsinks are nowhere near as constrictive as the ones used in the horrendous cooling designs we've been convinced to call "normal" now.

Looks like the lag right now is power bricks, so I may go ahead and ship pods so non-kit orders can be filled and then send bricks behind them as soon as they're arrived. Tired of waiting.

Your words.

WE ALL have gotten used to the crap that has been coming out and keep assuming it's all crap, even though we know you build the good stuff.

Going back to the old times of 4 1/2 years ago I shipped you an BTC Garden AM-V1 and a bitburner.
Slow and useless by today's standards. But big open designs with big QUIET fans. And heatsinks the size of a car.

I actually was still running a bigger BTC garden as a space heater till I got an R4 a while back.
You could have it 4 feet away and never know it was on.

I know I made a similar comment in another thread, but build something like that and you will sell every one you make.
