SWiF2 – Can a sequel ever be better than the original?

We had four sent to our office (dubbed the “Silent Whisper Fan”) this morning and couldn’t wait to unwrap the large box and check out the goodies Noctua had sent us. Personally, from a marketing perspective, the packaging on the Coolink fans is very eye catching and well laid out indeed. The packaging on the fans is just our style and goes well with the product. The colour scheme is also great! With the colour of the fans though, we were presuming they were ‘glow in the dark’ perhaps, but don’t seem to be from first glance.
