One of those challenges could be that air cooling with the ambient room temperature air will affect stability. Eventhough air can be brought into a case by fans, what temperature can one expect from the air outside of the case? If it's summer the air could get very hot.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/aircon/01.jpg"></a><a href="atruereview/aircon/09.jpg"><img src="atruereview/aircon/09th.jpg" width="250" height="240" border="0" alt="Waffer PC AirCon PAC 400" title="Waffer PC AirCon PAC 400"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>Today, I'm going to look at the Waffer AirCon PAC 400, a product that might solve the problem of the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the case. It allows for 24/7 cold air. However, the question is how practical will it be to the end user? Let's find out. </p> <p><b>Packaging:</b></p> <p>Waffer's PC AirCon comes packaged in plain cardboard box. It fits securely inside. A cutout window displays the fan of and part of the unit. Inside the box are all the other components and instructions that are needed to install the AirCon.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/aircon/05.jpg"><img src="atruereview/aircon/05th.jpg" width="206" height="250" border="0" alt="Waffer PC AirCon PAC 400" title="Waffer PC AirCon PAC 400"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li> PC AirCon PAC 400</li> <li> PAC 400 Bracket</li> <li> Self-Tapping Screw (3, M3 x 12L)</li> <li> Self-Tapping Screw (6, M3 x 6L)</li> <li> Fuse (5 x 20 mm L; 5.0 A)</li> <li> Manual </li> </ul> <p><b>Features:</b> </p> <p>Specifications can be seen on Waffer Technology's <a href="http://www.waffer.biz/THERMAL/English/Pac400.htm">web site</a>.</p> <ul> <li>Dimension 250(L) x 131(W) x 129(H) mm </li> <li> Net Weight 805 g </li> <li> Color Silver Grey + Dark Black </li> <li> System Cooling Power (SCP) 80 Watts </li> <li> Cooling System Thermoelectric Chip </li> <li> Aluminum Heatsinks </li> <li> Fans: 4600RPM / 37dBA </li> <li> Power Input 12V </li> <li> Power Consumption 52 Watts</li> <li> System Operation Requirements: It is preferred to run in a system equipped with the power of 350 Watts (or more), and among which a power of 52 Watts is spared at least for PC AirCon PAC 400 operation. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Description:</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/aircon/11.jpg"><img src="atruereview/aircon/11th.jpg" width="250" height="196" border="0" alt="Waffer PC AirCon PAC 400" title="Waffer PC AirCon PAC 400"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>It's a pretty straight forward package. The way it works is that the grey external unit plugs into the 5.25" bay adapter. This bay adapter supplies power to the AirCon unit. This also causes the unit to stick out from the front of your case.</p> <p>Waffer's AirCon uses a peltier supplied with air from the fans to produce airflow. Air flows into the unit and across the top heatsinks to cool it down. On the font is a blue glowing LCD that displays the temperature of the air going into your case. The removable part of the unit contains all the fans and the heatsinks that will cool your case. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/aircon/07.jpg"><img src="atruereview/aircon/07th.jpg" width="250" height="210" border="0" alt="Waffer PC AirCon PAC 400" title="Waffer PC AirCon PAC 400"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>The blue connector is the source where the external modular unit plugs into. Through a 4 pin Molex connector it is fed power by connecting it to a 4 pin Molex from your power supply. </p> <p align="right"> <a href="atruereview/aircon/waffer.php"></a> <a href="aircon/waffer.php">Next (Installation, Testing & Conclusion)</a></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer">  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
