Card style fans on the market today are pretty thick in comparison to the Vizo Propeller which is caused by the fan motors and steep angles of the blades. The Vizo Propeller is designed with smaller motors (which themselves produce less heat then the competitors) and blades that aren’t as angled as the competition. Instead the Vizo Propeller has more blades to move the the same amount of air.

The Vizo Propeller is designed with small foot that snaps into a PCI or like slot for support and takes up a PCI card slot on the back of your case. The Vizo Propeller PCI bracket has a slider style switch allowing you to throttle the fan speed of the fans. Additionally there is blue LED light which illuminates the Propeller giving the PC case an ominous glow.

The photos above does not do the "glow" of the card justice; one would have to see the card in person to appreciate the strength of the light. The Propeller uses a single pass through Molex connector and with its slim design gives you the ability to place it near other over-sized cards that need additional air flow.
