I need this in my life!

God help us... 🙁

This isn't fair, NAND prices are at record lows but they know I will pay an arm and a leg for these.

I am a sucker for these kind of things. But most of my new motherboards have integrated heat sinks for the M.2 drives. I assume these will cool just as well. The external SSDs they make with the Star Wars themes are nice.

The integrated mobo heatspreaders are removable.

Lol thank the gods I don't care for Star Wars 😆

Seems like this would be fairly easy to make by buying a Star Wars action figure and some EL wire...

And just in time for the new Star Wars game as well, what a coincidence!

Unless you are doing a theme build, this is the equivalent of owning a civic and putting a fart-can, neons/underglow and racing stickers on.

What about Mace Windu's purple sabre or Count Dooku's bend light sabre. Or Tarre Vizla's Darksaber..

 

[DSzymborski]

This is one of the stupidest, pointless, wastes of money I have ever seen, and I totally want one of them now.

Cute, but silly. Actually, the tiny lightsabres are nice, but the character names are superfluous, if you can't recognize the character from the lightsabre you're not really a fan. A practical liquid cooling solution for the notoriously hot Gen.5x4 drives would have been welcome while we wait for the new drives in quantity. I know that EKWB is experiencing some problems as the home built PC market has shrunk, but this seems a bit desperate. I am a loyal EK customer who loves their gear and use it on all my liquid cooled builds.

I think the article says they are Gen 4...
