Yeah I was thinking damn it must be impossible to make money on fans then 0.70 dollors a fan number in the video hit me. I would bet the giga expensive fans out there do cost more and we have seen there is a great deal of engineering in some desgins and that is expensive. But damn the volume and price of fans is just wild.
Arctic sells $5 fans and still makes profit enough that they are willing to give 6 years warranty.
Yeah if the BOM (bill of materials) is 72 cent and shipping and marketing is amortized over every fan they sell them yeah they're happy to give you a warranty.
