Hits: 20803

Competition is one of the cornerstones of innovation, in the tech world and in many other areas.  When we have several different companies marketing products to us that serve the same function, they will each strive to bring us, the consumer, something better than their competition.  Price, performance, appearance - all of those are parts of the equation for value.  Some companies offer what is perceived to be (and very often is) absolute top-of-the-line quality at a premium price.  Others will present their product from the cost-to-performance ratio.  Still others will rely on aesthetics to bring in the consumer.  All are different and valid approaches to the marketplace, and if you’re in that market long enough you’ll likely eventually start to see a trend in certain brands, identifying which ones fit into which category.

Conclusion:

I was pleasantly surprised by the Pallas low-profile CPU cooler at more than one point.  It has its drawbacks but just about any cooler will.  Fit and finish are exemplary, installation was easy, performance is better than expected and noise levels are perfectly acceptable.  With the information I have I would be more than happy to put one of these coolers in a HTPC system in my living room.  The only thing that keeps me from being able to give it the Editor’s Choice award is lack of information on its price and availability.  Price is obviously a huge factor in determining value and recommending a product.  Bearing this in mind, if the price turns out to be in the range of $40-$50 USD I would absolutely recommend this cooler.  As the price increases there are other competitors out there with similar offerings that should be considered.

[Ed - After speaking with Raijintek we have confirmed that the price we be 50 US $ cooler including VAT. Raijintek will start selling in the US and Canada right after Computex.]

Check back soon for the review of the next cooler from Raijintek, the Themis EVO.
