Sometimes you find a piece of hardware that you like: it's effective, it's different, it's appealing for whatever reason personally. You admire it, you buy it if you can and you use it. Then the designers come along and make it better. Enter...

Too bad looks aren't everything Thermaltake’s first SpinQ cooler (reviewed February 2009) had style for sure—it looked like a blue-lit stack of bike gears with a fan in the middle, mounted sideways. The SpinQ VT adopts the same basic...
