Taking a look at Sesame Vault: An online video solution
On Monday (April 20, 2009), Open Box unveiled its solution for online video. The simple fact is that if you use or create online video, you know that multiple formats are a necessary evil.

Antec throws in a front-mount hard drive cooling fan and a 250mm fan on top (that’s the bowl looking thing with the Antec logo). If you are feeling extra-funky, you can even enjoy the fact that the fan is multi-colored.
Ok, so admittedly, it sort of looks like a science experiment with K’NEX gone bad. More after the break.
