CM Mars CPU cooler

[kill4killin]

Has anyone seen this cooler? It looks like a globe with a glowing core, its kinda neat looking IMO. However, does it cool well? It looks like it would be a rather efficient design since it has heat fins above and below the fan and thus would cool two areas rather than one.

Does anyone know if it cools well or not?

Ew that thing doesnt look any good at all...only a 2C drop in most cases over stock cooling.
