[Previous entry: "Perth Glory memorabilia up for grabs"] [Next entry: "Tip: When sucking up, try not to be too transparent"] The desktop successor to the popular Dell Latitude, the new Dell Altitudes (which may appear in stores badged under the Optiplex brand name) are so-called due to their innovative cooling design which wouldn't be out of place in a jet engine.

The front cover provides a large ventilation grille, covering...

...an enormous, variable-speed fan, which spins up to insane speeds, potentially sucking in small birds and/or children, before pushing air and mushed-up body bits over...

... a dual-injection, aluminium-construction, more-fins-than-a-shark-feeding-frenzy heatsink.

If you ramp these things up to full load (there's a Pentium 4 sitting under that massive chunk of metal somewhere), you can actually get them to start moving down your desk.
