GELID fans - in the spirit of silence

As the vents began to get into the box in the store, it already looked like they were going to be interesting pieces. This was a little reassuring because it would have been hard enough to put together a multi-page article about some of the mirrors with a plain bearing.

The aerators come in two types of packaging. The simpler white box has the cheaper design, while the more ornate black-green packaging holds the more expensive pieces. The cheaper design features a black frame and white shovel, while the more expensive one features a glossy black frame and a translucent blue shovel.

There will be significant differences between the two versions beyond the plastics used, but more on that later. What is important about accessories, however, is that there are accessories. It became a faramuci sentence, but really, has anyone seen a type where rubber spikes were added to the assembly in addition to the cheaper pieces? If that weren’t enough, chick lovers can even find a sticker next to each fan to decorate the front of their machine.

In addition to the spikes and sticker, the more expensive versions also include a speed control unit similar to the Zalmane. It's nothing either. Not a ballast resistor with some imaginative name, but a perfectly fine regulator. Not to mention that the boxing of the more expensive fans, which are already marked with a Gamer indicator, is also impressive, the plastic tray inside the cardboard, and the pins, the regulator and the fan itself are nicely arranged in it.

Then one more thing on which we opened our mouths. For each fan, we found a mesh on the wiring, the two ends of which were nicely sealed with shrink tubing. I think that's too much of a good thing. I don’t know yet if the vents are framed, but the packaging and accessories are first class.
