Move along - nothing new to see here....
the market is FLOODED with these tower coolers. If Tower Coolers were women - you could have one for every day of the week for a whole month or 2 before you call the first one out to dinner again.
The market has been flooded with these clones since the C2D age. what makes brands think that theres any serious money to be made by flogging off a cooler of thats exactly the same as 100 other coolers out there? There is no market for this.
AC do it, OCZ do it, Scythe do it, Thermaltake do it, EVERYONE does it.
its all about avilability, price and the brand name itself.
If this cooler can reach markets that are potentially free from tower coolers. then they have struck gold. other wise every computer store will stock about 10 of the same tower coolers from different brands.
all you need to do is pick one - then all the other brands lose out on the sale and they lose money because you didnt perchase their cooler.

They probably make really small batches of these coolers and dont renew the order to make more. they would just end up collecting dust in a warehouse anyway
You have to keep in mind some countries don't have massive amounts of pc's like UK and USA. In some of those countries if they can afford an aftermarket HS these cheap towers might be it. A 50+ unit might be beyond reach. We are talking about a world wide market!
Spire has pretty much been on the low end for as long as I can remember. The fins on that HS are probably razor sharp. My experience with Spire products say avoid them at all cost.
