Now where can I get one of these on my graphics card?

1) You are most definitely 2 years late on this
2) It's not bladeless, just because you can't see the blades doesn't mean it has none (they are in the cylinder at the base, attached to the "brushless motor"
3) The airflow is crap.

Well that clears that up then!

The blades are there, they just can't see them in the stand part

I was playing with a form of these 10 years ago at work. The original is called an air amplifier and is run by compressed air. You can see them on T.V. when the fomula1 is on, they are held pointing into the cockpit to cool the driver.

The dyson one works by having a small compressor in the stand.

Lol, first time I've seen that. Looks so futuristic though. :eek:

Noisy as hell apparently.

IMHO a bladeless fan is going to be about as use full as a motorless car. Good look to you with it

Had them at costco, Load of air, are noisier, but shift a lot more air. They also feel exactly like a normal fan. Pointless tbh.
