A Closer Look

     From the base to the top of the fan is 9 inches.  Most of us will not have the fan installed without bending or rotating it some way.

The stem is bendable and will hold the position that you put it in.

To help you get the air exactly where you need it, the fan can be rotated too.

     The speed is controlled by a 3 position switch.  The speed, airflow and noise level are all in a chart on page 1.

Conclusion

     The spot cool is a product that is long overdue.  Long have we been looking for a practical way to get a fan over our RAM slots without resorting to duct tape or hot glue.  Antec replaces all of that duct tape and hot glue with one simple little screw.  The design and idea are both simple ones, but sometimes the best ideas are the simple ones.  Antec has really come up with an innovative idea.  The Spot Cool is really going to help those that need more cooling but can't figure out how to get the fan where they need it.  For less than $13, the spot cool is a great deal.  ClubOC recommended.
