Ok, I promise this is the last article on them...
Yes, yes, I know all I seem to have done is crack on about the Commodore Gaming PCs but I did think you’d all like to have a look inside one of these new machines... but in actual fact this as a peek inside several machines as they represent a progression of the development cycle...
First up is the dirty great case fan mounted on the side, something that I’ve been pondering for a while as big fans have to only spin slowly to draw the equivalent amount of air as a smaller fan spinning noisily...
Now you might notice that these fans have coloured LEDs going on, which may or may not be your bag. The cool thing is that with the press of a button mounted on the front of the case you can cycle through the various colours to one you like or just switch them off completely. You can do this not only for the big side fan but for the intake fan round the front too.

Ignore the messy cabling, this will all be trimmed to length giving a custom fit for everything.

The odd looking plastic encased thing on the right of the fan is essentially a chiller, which the fan pulls the case air over, cooling it as it goes. This is then blown through the CPU cooler to give even more effective heat removal. Sweet, huh?
