That is a really massive heat sink! I assume it is a heat sink. Much more and they will need colling fans of their own.

 

Thanks for the post Devon.

I wonder how this compares to RAM heatsinks that are made to be efficient rather than just visually appealing to kids.

 Yeah, that's about as useless and silly as 'disco dancing LED lights inside the bloody case... :Silly:

It depends on how you feel about your computer. For instance, I thought about and planned the wiring in mine meticulously, and if you open the case it looks like origami. I even brought a good power supply with racing stripes that matched the overall color scheme.......

 

Which means the look of the ram was important as well.

It looks like one of Optimus Prime's power up cast offs.

Well, they certainly remind me more about Transformers than airplanes...

Oh I see now. As long as the computer looks like a souped up hot-rod, it must be fast too!

No..... More like why would you have a souped up hot rod (that cost you a mint) that looked like a Volkswagen Beetle circa 1968?  :lol:

 

 

This is a very old picture and many parts have changed, but you get the idea.

Not the best looking or biggest heatsink I have seen, my Corsair Platinum RAM heatsinks are bigger and better looking! Plus they have lights :P

Lighted components can be tricky. Stuff you thought looked cool 3 months ago might annoy the crap out of you later.......   :wacko:

Devon, having had the side off my main development machine yesterday to replace a failing F: drive, I note that my cabling and so forth looks to be very neat as well.

 

One of the things I most like about the case I have though is that the hard drives are slotted sideways, meaning I only have to remove the cover, press two rail clips and slide the drive out. To me that means a lot more than blinking lights... :LMAO:
