even the lil dinky one has rubber shock absorbers. Noctua should start making cases, no brown ones though. red, black, white and green for starters.

They would most likely make them brown, or grey like their new budget line. But if they did, you'd surely see top quality, and premium+ pricing 😀

That li'l dinky one could be a nice replacement for the fan on my 4-bay external HDD enclosure. =b

I think they should stick with Fans and Coolers. Id rather see them expand to VGA Coolers.

Another thing I'd like to see in terms of performance, and price.

Still no word on them releasing that 200mm fan they showed off 9 months ago? damn... someone needs to make a high quality 200mm. The best so far I can find is from Bitfenix, but still it feels flimsy.

I actually emailed them a few years ago about VGA coolers. Here was their response:

Hello Kevin, first of all many thanks for choosing Noctua products. I can assure you that we have given the matter of a GPU cooler a lot of consideration over the last few years and we are still thinking about it. Building a GPU cooler is one thing, building a really good one is another thing, especially if it should be affordable as well. Another problem is the number of available PCB designs for one card, let alone different cards, which makes it difficult to optimize the product for top performance without the need to have 10 different SKUs. The Radeon 5870 cards are already moving into this direction with nearly every manufacturer working on or already offering cards with a custom PCB design. It's only a matter of time when we'll see the same happening on the GTX480 and GTX470 cards. We haven't given up on this topic and we are working on it but if and when there will be a GPU cooler from Noctua is something I can't tell you right now, sorry. Best regards, Andreas Karner Noctua support team

I love the company honestly. Nearly all my fans are Noctua including the fans in my NAS. I really don't mind the color scheme when it's on a black case and the cooling/sound is perfect for what I want. They feel well built and their support has been great when I've upgraded sockets in the past. (although now I'm on liquid) And even just being open about their future products, like this email for example, I think is really awesome.

I think the only way to go is the Arctic Cooling way. And perhaps focus on the High-End Videocard only.
