Pretty similar to the Sandia cooler but it looks like cooler master is actually going to be bringing this one to market.

Could be an interesting option for steambox style cases or the A4 case where a low profile cooler is necessary. Of course there is very limited information on actual cooling potential, noise, etc. Cooler Master will be showing it at CES though.
