No, it is a Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk WR200.
One of those Dyson fans. How quiet is it?
Quieter than the 8" fan it replaced, and the 16" fan we also have. Mainly because you don't need to turn it up so much.
The weird thing is that it cools you without it feeling windy.....at first I thought it wasn't working properly but after a few minutes you notice the drop in temp. It's like having a fridge open more than a fan.....that's the only way I can explain it.
I got it on approval just in case it was pants, but I'm going to keep it. I'm impressed, even if it costs more than it really should.
Price is immense but I guess they're good for the blowage-ness 
I have a £6 USB fan from Argos, surprisingly good I have to say and it's plugged into an rf remote controlled socket so I can turn it on and off from wherever:
Very quiet too, no motor noise, just the whoomfsh ambience of air. I was sceptical at first going by the customer reviews on Argos' website but they turned out to be very accurate, lots of air, no noise and highly portable!

Too noisy, and too much hassle.

My girlfirends mother has that 'Keep Calm' thingy on her wall
I love beats by dre, AMAZING headphones
*Looks at Beyerdynamic DT880's*
Sure...

I have both, and a pair of Senn 650's and it is all down to taste, depends on what I'm listening to (and when) for which phones I use.
The Beyers are a bit iffy on the build quality tbh, sound great though. (and they are open, not closed like the beats)
Yeah, my phone.
Dr Dre beats are crazily crap and ridiculous price for the quality of £40 headphones.
You paid for the brand MONSTER. Poor you
Actually they are far better build quality than the senns which cost similar money, and they don't sound that different. There is a lot of snobbery regarding the beat pros tbh, and it's all down to personal taste anyway.
I used the Beats in the past and they're fine if you like bass but they're not as good as Grado/Sennheiser for detail and soundstage (how live and spacial music sounds, especially acoustic tracks). Build quality is a non issue. Everyday headphones should be light and transparent when worn, not weighty and obvious!
They're perfect for action movies too.

Indeed, hence the reason why I have more than one pair of phones, like I said earlier it depends what I'm listening to.
The beats get bashed about a bit and I listen predominantly to hip hop with them which is why I bought them. I like them, if they were as bad as people (most of who I doubt have ever listened to them or compared them to anythkng else) then I would have simply returned them.
Yeah they're good for Hip Hop but even a lot of rap/hip hop albums aren't mastered very well so the benefits of extra sounds jumping out with a more detailed headphone aren't really obvious. there are some though, Fugees springs to mind where you can pick out the plucking of strings even through the bass laden background - That's on a Sennheiser of course. The Beats and other phones like them are more forgiving to poorly mastered tracks whereas a Grado or Sennheiser in the same class won't be which I guess is why you get such a wide variation of people going "well my music sounded crap on the Sennheiser 595 but sounded great on my technics xxxXyz" and so on.
I like music detailed but still punchy with bass, not bassy without the detail. Other people like to hear more bass than detail. Different strokes etc.

Current setup is OK but I have to keep rolling from trolly to desk so I'm getting one of these soon: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S29887466
