Microsoft's Jet-Engine Flight Sim PC Probably Isn't as Loud as It Looks

Microsoft's and Xbox are giving away a gaming PC to celebrate the Microsoft Flight Simulator's France and Benelux update, and it sure fits the game's aesthetic. The build looks like a jet engine, or at least part of one.

Putting out of mind the idea of just two-thirds of a jet engine working, you can find more details about the giveaway on the @XboxFR  Twitter account (first spotted by our friends at PC Gamer).

    I'm surprised they didn't make the fan an actual fan to cool the PC with.

    And we can't see whats behind the front "fan blades", or whats on top.

    meh...its a very nice one off case mod.
    Lets not get too wrapped around the axle on "OMG! It's not perfect!"

    if those turbine fan blades would turn on like 200 rpm, that would be insane airflow already.

    it's good that this will only be in homes without small children or pets.

    Eventually anyway, the initial burn in period may get a little bloody
