Custom PC builders are a funny bunch. (I know, I happen to be one of them.) They spend an insane amount of time scrutinizing every tiny aspect of their machines. On top of that, overclockers (again I raise my hand) take the obsession to another level. On the topic of overclocking, keeping that extra heat under control is priority #1. That’s where gigantic air coolers like the new Noctua NH-C14 (above) come in handy. Where the stock CPU coolers from Intel fail miserably, these behemoths can squelch heat like none other.
So what does this new NH-C14 model have over the equally impressive NH-D14?

At first, hearing the words “gas oven” and “cooler” together will strike you as odd. But in the case of the Gas Oven Laptop Cooler, it makes a little more sense. Laptop coolers are a dime a dozen so when a manufacturer of said products tries to do something different, it can either go very well, or…not so well. In this case, they mostly succeed. The GOLC is a relatively small yet powerful laptop cooler with two big fans in use to keep your lappy cool and happy. One other nifty feature that should please mobile warriors is the USB power — no wall socket in sight. Granted, if you completely without a wall socket, using this will cause your battery to drain faster. Then again, if your laptop is starting to melt, I can see where your decision making might be altered. Finally, a nice blue glow shines from within letting you know when you do and don’t have sweet sweet electricity flowing through the device itself. The light is slightly gimmicky but a cool feature none the less. Oh yeah, I almost forgot — it’s shaped like a gas stove *face palm*.
Seeing as how most laptop coolers are $40+, are you willing to walk out on a limb for $12.69 and save a few dollars in the process? I hear limb walking is all the rage these days…
Ok, to cure world thirst is a big stretch. Sneaking the Sippin’ Seat into a sports stadium…all but impossible. If you’re wondering what the Sippin’ Seat is, I would be more than happy to tell you. Since we as the human race are running out of things to put beer in for future consumption, I find it very enlightening that someone has thought of these problems and come up with a solution as to allow us mere mortals to continue living happy, belly filled lives. The Sippin’ Seat is here to fill those bellies and brighten those lives. Holding an undisclosed amount of liquid, this big inflatable seat will give your weary soul a place to sit and have a cold/warm one when the time comes. As long as you have more than $30 and less than 300lb. wrapped around your skeleton, the Sippin’ Seat will aid your journey called life rather pleasantly. Featuring an easy “twist valve”, drinking liquid and sitting down never looked so good. Don’t you think? Come on, you want one don’t you?
