Nanopoint has shown over at the CES 2006 their new case called Xclio.
It is equiped with 2 230mm fans.
Une in front and one on the side.
The fans will have some protection grills and you will understand why if you look at the pics below.
This case is still a prototype but we should see it coming out during summer time.

That is crazy, I wonder if the side one is exhaust? If they are both blowing in you are going to be building up alot of pressure in the case.

Yeah, it has to be exhaust I think. I wonder why they didn't go straight back though with the exhaust. Seems like this would be weird air flow.

Well not actually, it would pull all the heat of the cards in the expansion slots ASAP. The would be better than letting the heat build up between the cards.

I dont see the little fan at the back do the job of taking out what those 2 turbines (:p) pull in ...

Whoa, those are a couple of huge fans!!! :shock: Definitely need a grill of some sort to protect them (and you :P )

I wonder what kind of rpm's there are pushing though.... could make for some loud fans there....

Ya the retail will have protection grills.
But its not like I would buy this case anyways...
Not sure about you guys but IMO I find those kind of cases cheap.
The kind of ugly case you find in PC stores with lots of cheap plastic.
