No, I’m not going to talk about sizable fans for your butt. Although I’d like to see what an ass fan would look like, what I’ll be sharing with you today are fans that are just plain huge. Just big ass fans, called Big Ass Fans, from the company Big Ass Fans.

While your run of the mill fan has…

While it can’t do anything about your netbook’s tiny screen and weak processor, Century’s 3-in-1 USB dock does add 2 USB ports and a Panasonic DVD/CD burner combo drive, as well as a couple of extra features that laptops don’t have.

The dock also has an internal 2.5″ SATA connector for extra HDD/SSD storage, as well as a tiny fan…

Upon hearing the words “Batman Cooling Fan”, what pops into your mind? A laptop cooling fan with the Dark Knight’s logo on it? Perhaps a fan shaped like a Batarang? Or do you imagine a white, 4 in. tall figure wearing a black Green Hornet mask and a black fedora, with a bloody Batman logo on its chest?

If you…

Cooling and proper ventilation is an important aspect of building computers, especially for gamers or hobbyists who want to get the most out of their machines by overclocking processors and…doing other stuff that I don’t really understand. There are tons of sophisticated cooling solutions for computers, but what if you don’t have the money to get your PC some sweet…

Does your mouse hand get all sweaty from all that scrolling, clicking and dragging? Nope, mine doesn’t either. But if you are suffering from sweaty palms, you might want to check out this clever mouse from Japan.

Not only does the LED Message Mouse keep your mouse hand nice and cool thanks to a built-in fan, it can display dot-matrix…

Weird gadget time! This USB-powered fan has LEDs on its blades that can display colorful patterns or one of more than 30 preset text messages. Why more than 30? I don’t know. What’s it called? The “USB 30+ Light Show Fan.”

Awwww. The fan’s packaging also provides some extra Engrish fun:

You can get this at dealextreme for $6.60 (USD).…

From the land of the rising square watermelons comes another batch of freaky fruit. A Fuji apple orchard owner loved the big A so much that he decided to brand real apples with little iPod figures and Apple logos. Instead of, I don’t know, buying Apple products. To each his own.

How did he do it? Lasers. Okay no, but…

This incredible art installation records the tiniest human breathing patterns and magnifies them into a room-filling blast of wind.

Created by interactive artist Scott Snibbe, Blow Up is comprised of two main pieces. On one side of the room is an array of 12 small impellers which act as a breath-controlled input device. On the other side of the room is…

When my original 2005 Xbox 360 finally succumbed to the dreaded Red Rings of Death, it ended up going on the scrap heap. This enterprising modder showed a bit more creativity than I could muster by turning his overheating Xbox lemons into a souped-up glass of PC lemonade.

Other than the big red LED backlit cooling fan sticking out of…

Check out this ridiculous computer case made entirely out of cooling fans. I’m assuming the builder of this case was frustrated with their tricked-out system overheating all the time.

The case was assembled from 66 individual cooling fans, keeping the system icy cold all the time. Maybe Microsoft should think about this design for the next Xbox 360.

This nifty airplane-inspired desktop fan will help you keep your cool while you’re slaving away surfing the Internet.

The fan plugs into your USB port, and has a soft “propeller” that’s designed to not slice your digits off if you happen to get in its way. The little aircraft isn’t built to be aerodynamically sound since it would fly off…

Does your closet smell like old gym socks? Is Fido stinking up the place and making you sneeze? Does somebody like onions and runny French cheese? If this sounds like your house, perhaps you could us one of these.

The Antibac2k Magic Ball kills unpleasant odors, as well as removes allergens and contaminants from the air around you. The spherical…

It’s a necktie. No, it’s a fan. No, it’s a necktie. No, it’s a fan AND a necktie in one! Yep, leave it to the gadget wizards at Japan’s Thanko to come up with this bright idea.

The $25 USB Tie Fan is a giant clip-on that you can wear around your neck, keeping you cool while you sit at…

You better act quick if you want this great piece of Nintendo nostalgia for your house. It’s a Super Mario Brothers ceiling fan, circa 1988, that I found over on eBay.

I know Nintendo merchandised the hell out of this franchise, but a Super Mario ceiling fan? I think I’ve seen everything now.

The auction ends on July 27th, so…

Here’s a cool way to keep cool at your desk.

These retro USB fans from Willstyle look like some sort of cage fan from an old computer, but they’re all new. They have a substantial ball-bearing fan motor, and can really crank out some wind.
The fans come in silver or black, and cost 28,000 Korean Won (about $30 USD)…
