Actually it is hooked up, it's just using half the turbo. Looks like it's equivelent to a supercharger but using a turbo and a small motor. Dumb if you think about it because it's just sending warm/hot compressed air into the computer. Would be cheaper to just water cool your system and have it run way cooler than that set-up. Water cool FTW. Can't wait to water cool mine eventually.

In the pics it is not hooked up, if the see the "charge pipe" is not connected to the turbo at all. Just sitting next to it.

It is basically acting as a big fan(if it was hooked up) taking outside air and putting it in the case. I highly doubt that motor will spin the turbo fast enough to create that much heat at all, its more going to be ambient air temps blown into the open case, and if you look at it like that its no more dumb that water cooling with less risk. All water cooling does is take water and circulate it through hunks of copper taking it to a radiator which cools it down to ambient temps(if your lucky) via a radiator. If you go much cooler for water temps then you start get condensation, and we all know that electronics dont like water.
