The first thing to keep in mind is that Koolance didn't just send a cooling kit and say "have fun". Koolance teamed up with a local VAR and a business partner, Infortechnow, to build a killer rig that will really put the Exos-2 through its paces better then anything we could have thrown at it. So the box was HUGE, standing taller then my 3.5 yr old son and weighed twice as much as he does. The only thing that made it easier to carry was that it didn't wiggle, kick, and scream as I brought it into the home office/computer lab like Dylan would.
