CES 2008 - We had an opportunity to sit down with our pals over at Arctic Cooling to see what the company has coming out for 2008. The answer? A little old, a little new, and one of the coolest case interiors we've seen...

Interesting to see they weren't using their new heatsink in that display case, they were still using the Freezer 7 Pro. And that power supply looks weird...

Would this be the first triple slot graphics card cooler?

great thinking on the psu, although i normally only buy psu with it inside the case anways(situated directly above the cpu). If those 3 fans really keep it that cold and remain quiet then great, my hesitation lies with the noise of them though, with obstabcles in the way etc etc, only time will tell.

peace

I admit I'm a silent

fan of AC's stuff. I have three of their Accelero X1's on 7800GT's. Quiet as all hell, and actually dropped temps by a degree or two then stock cooling. I've used their CPU coolers occasionally over the years, starting with their 478 solutions. Good stuff, and affordable too!

A Thermalright HR-03 with attached fan takes up 3 slots, if it's mounted so that the fins are in front of the card (as opposed to behind it). Actually does it take up 3 even if it's mounted behind it?--I don't actually own one, only read a ton of reviews.

my best and favourite VGA cooler is undoubtly the AC Silencer5 rev3. yknow, the one for the 7800~7900GT? extremely silent, extremely cool, and pull push the air to work brilliantly with my case! the current stock 8800GT/GTS coolers follow the same design, but way louder....

i cant wait to get one of them AC stuff. and the case looks interesting too! hmmmm AC cheesecake!!

If the psu is at the front at the bottom where does the power cable plug in?

Certainly interesting though, I do like AC products, all the new kit for my case is AC (4 120mm fans, Xcellero, and an Freezer 7)
