A quick note on a new fan being released by Cooler Master, dubbed the Excalibur, that looks to bring a few  changes to the world of fan products.

The Excalibur is a 120mm fan that distinguishes itself from others with a unique honeycomb metal frame that promotes airflow, a detachable 9 bladed fan which should make for easy cleaning and Barometric Ball Bearing said to increase the life of the fan up to 100,000 hours.

The unit is PWM controlled and can be adjusted from 600RPM to 2000RPM, pushing air between 26.4 and 85.6 CFM. Despite its power, the fan should only produce only a modest 13 to 30dba of noice, due in part to the bearing construction.

The attractive design and expected longevity is sure to entice many, however a price tag of 17.90 Euro ($27 USD) may have some thinking twice.
