Price: $24.99 - $33.48
Supplied by: Global Win

Recently I received a little box of luving from Global Win (thanks Cecilia) and while I'm not going to share the main item they sent me yet, I will share the most interesting one.  Global Win is known for their kick ass heat sinks that won't set you back more than the price of the CPU like some of their competitors.  Unknown to me Global Win has started making something they call the ISTORM.  Global Win's web site states that the ISTORM is a hard drive and system cooler with a "special lateral cross-flow fan."  When I received the box I was amazed by such claims as "1st PC Air Conditioner", "A 9° C difference, with or without it", and "To further help CPU cool 2° C at least" boldly printed on the front. Those are some mighty big claims for what at first looks like a fancy hard drive cooler.  Is the ISTORM the answer to every overclockers dream or is it ghey like TronŽ asked me when I got it?

 

Test System:

This is the same file/print/internet server that I used in The $5.13 Lazy Man's Case Mod article from last month.
