When the Arduino detects the temperature changing, it automatically actuates the servo to raise or lower the louvers accordingly, and the rig features a pair of supercapacitors that can store enough power to close the vents even if power is lost. There's also the all-important little red button to instantly make jaws drop.

Not really news, Alienware did this at CES I think

What's the benefit of ever closing them? It's not like dust won't accumulate anyways.

 

[Xyro TR1]

^ Because it's nifty.

Eh, it will be nice for the kids who think looks = performance. Which is sadly a large amount of people.

This is on the new Alienware cases...

Neat idea, but purely cosmetic.

My next case mod I had planned something like this, but more functional and controlled a little differently.

 

[Shingetsu]

Noise reduction maybe, but i dont see why you dont just turn the fans up and down. Pretty cool nonetheless.

 

[xtascox]

Automated fan switching and throttling would make much more sense. And most cpu fan headers do that already, well at least the throttling part.

I had a case design like this in my head. But like you said much more functional and better.

Collaborative case mod maybe?

 

[nzgroller]

just have it open all the time for better temps?

 

[PeaceMaker]

This thing looks cool as crap anyway!

 

[Supacasey]

All I see is the loss of a vital area for mounting rads or at least case modding fans to.

Reminds me of a '28 Franklin...

I can see some fanatics actually buying this, for their extreme cooling situations.
