Exhausting extra heat from your computer is just as important as extracting it from the hot surfaces contained within your computer. Otherwise, as the internal temperature rises, the efficiency of surface coolers is reduced. A computer case cooling fan solves this problem. Available as either a slot mounted or drive bay mounted unit, or as a separate customizable fan, computer case fans are perfect for ensuring reliable operation of your high performance servers and workstation computers. Most computer cases now include internal mounting locations for "square" case fans. Slot cooling fans are perfect as video card coolers for such hot-running 3D gaming video cards as 3dfx Voodoo, TNT, GeForce, and others.
