Cooler Master Offers the Smallest 95W Laptop Adapter You Can Get

Mark Wilson — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:40:00 EDT

It's tough to tell without anything to scale this image, but the Cooler Master SNA 95 is the smallest 95W laptop adapter around—yet still manages to integrate some convenient extras.

Measuring just 2.9 x 0.7 x 5.7 inches, the SNA 95 includes practicalities beyond its 9 bundled tips that are compatible with most major brands of laptops (though it doesn't appear that Macbooks are supported). The Cooler Master system also includes a cable management system, ~~slick~~ cool LED indicators and a USB port for whatever else might need charging.

As of now, the SNA 95 is available for $70 at one retailer. But it should pop up elsewhere soon. [Cooler Master via Crunchgear]

Cooler Master Storm Gaming Mouse Has Its Own Display, Adjustable DPI

John Herrman — Wed, 27 May 2009 06:51:24 EDT

Tweaktown got some eyes-on time with Cooler Master's upcoming Storm gaming mouse, which has a built-in OLED display, adjustable DPI, and lights, lights, lots of lights.

The screen's uses are limited to adjusting the mouse resolution and displaying a logo of your choice, and sadly, the model shown here is a development version, so the full battery of lighting tricks isn't on display. But even as is, this tacky, decked-out mouse holds a certain appeal for anyone with a soft spot for gaudy, LED-adorned back-of-the-PC-magazine computer accessories—something I'll glady admit to. Price and availability are TBA. [Tweaktown]

Coolermaster's Cosmos Chassis Looks Great, Conforms to ESA Standards

Jason Chen — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:41:47 EST

Coolermaster, a big name in DIY enthusiast PC cases, has just announced that their Cosmos line of chassis will conform to the Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) initiative. ESA is supposed to allow more components to communicate with each other so people who build their own PCs can monitor exactly what's going on inside the system. The ESA Cosmos looks pretty much the same as the previous Cosmos chassis, but has a thermal control board with four sensors to monitor and adjust fan speeds. The upside? You get the same nice case but improved warning when something melts down.

Cooler Master NotePal Infinite Cools Your Laptop (and Your Lap)

kevinhall2 — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:00:00 EDT

Cooler Master's NotePal Infinite employs variable speed fans under a wide steel mesh bed to cool your laptop. Since the unit's air intake is located at the rear rather then along the bottom, the NotePal Infinite will probably be able to deliver the goods even on surfaces that aren't flat, such as your legs. (Who would put a laptop there?) All this technology is supposed to drop your laptop's temperature by up to 60 degrees, making it one cool pad.

The NotePal Infinite also features:
• A design that spreads cooling out over the entire underside of a laptop
• Three adjustable fan speeds
• An 8.5-degree inclination for comfortable typing
• A cable organizing hook at the rear
• The ability to support 12" to 17" laptops

No word on pricing or availability just yet, but the NotePal Infinite certainly looks like a cooling pad to watch. [Cooler Master via Aving]

Cooler Master NotePal S Is Simply Cool

Wilson Rothman — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 20:00:00 EDT

If you're looking for a way to cool down your laptop without hijacking another USB port or wall outlet, then Cooler Master might have just the thing for you. Rather than bolster your machine's existing cooling solution with extra fans, the clever design features an adjustable tilt that exposes the laptop's underside and provides better overall airflow.

The NotePal S is pretty much perfect for anyone who has tried fan-based coolers and can't quite seem to get their heat down. Without telling you too much, dear reader, this Gizmodo writer's lap is pretty much on fire for the better part of the day, and that's not just because of all of the hot articles we handle around here.

One inherent disadvantage of the design (for some), might be the fact that it significantly cuts down on portability, as the unit doesn't look like it would sit very well on a lap. That being said, it's still a new idea on how to keep laptops cool while at home or at the office. For $30 you get a silent, powerless laptop stand with six different levels of tilt. The NotePal S is said to support laptops anywhere between 12 and 17 inches. – Kevin Hall

Giant CPU Heatsink Big as Some Motherboards

Brian Lam — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 09:22:38 EST

You can watercool a hot rig, or you can go for the biggest fan/heatsink CPU combo I've ever seen. The copper block transfers heat to the aluminum fins via 6 heatpipes. The aluminum radiator is cooled by dual 12 CM fans that have the added effect of chilling out the motherboard and anything else in your case.

Also, this is one of the main components in a hovercar.–Brian Lam

Cooler Master X Craft 350 Enclosure (Verdict: Looks Pretty, Gets the Job Done)

Travis Hudson — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 14:22:31 EDT

The X Craft 350 is Cooler Master's latest venture into the world of hard drive enclosures. It is available in silver or black, both of which look very pretty and shiny. The enclosure supports 3.5-inch IDE or SATA hard drives up to 500GB in size and connects via USB. One of the nicer features about this enclosure is the addition of two USB ports on the rear of the enclosure—sort of like an integrated mini-USB hub. Prices for the X Craft 350 begin around $50. – Travis Hudson

Prevent Lap Burn

tgrumet — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 15:15:10 EST

If hot laptops have ever been a problem, here's the perfect, simple solution. Cooler Master NotePal all-aluminum coolers work for 15-and 17-inch laptops and even have a range designed for Apple's widescreens. The NotePal takes down heat with twin 2.8-inch fans (that have a life expectancy of 3000 hours), which also help with airflow around your laptop, shielding it from any direct heat. And bonus—it's fairly quiet as well. The NotePal is powered directly from your laptop and has two 2.0 USB ports and an on/off power button for the fans. The line starts at about $40.

Power PC

tgrumet — Thu, 15 Dec 2005 04:09:54 EST

With a name like the Cooler Master Stacker 830, you might expect this PC enclosure to open beers and mix daiquiris as well as look good and cool off your computer. Alas, what it really does well is look good and provide you with some pretty powerful functionality. Built from aluminum with a tool-free chassis and black mesh panels, the 830 has ATX/BTX dual support, support for up to nine 5.25-inch drives and multi-positioning for the 4-in-3 device modules, and accommodation for up to nine 120mm fans for optimal thermal management. Throw in Cooler Master s latest liquid cooling system and you'll also have an almost-silent PC. Screwless slots let you open the front panel easily for fast tool-free upgrades. Runs about $317.
