If you want to add some pizazz to the Talon, it’ll cost you $359 for a Falcon Northwest paintjob. Can the Talon claw its way to the top of the pack?Ī white LED-backlit strip along the top-front portion of the enclosure provides some visual flair.

Both buyers and builders know a mid-sized tower is the sweet spot of standard PC form factors, so everyone has at least one, and some offer several.

Though that’s a lot, the potential of the system is impressive, and its priced far less than an equivalent Mach V, the company’s full tower system. Our review unit, which features an overclocked Intel Core i7-4770k CPU, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti, 16GB of RAM and two 240GB SSDs, is priced just north of $3,000. While new hardware has come and gone, the Talon, a line which was first sold starting in 1999, is still standing. These computers don’t require a hand truck to move, and tend to offer solid value.įalcon Northwest’s Talon is a veteran in this field.
Yet there’s still something compelling about a simple mid-sized tower. Even though hurricanes form only sporadically, they do affect the global atmosphere's circulation in measurable ways, although this is still an active area of research.Small desktop computers have become more popular over the last few years thanks to huge improvements in processor and GPU efficiency, and new designs from major boutique PC makers.
During its lifetime, a hurricane will transport a significant amount of heat up from the ocean surface and into the upper troposphere or even lower stratosphere. Hurricanes always form over the warm waters of the tropical oceans and generally where the sea-surface temperature exceeds 26.5☌ (76☏).Ī hurricane may travel thousands of miles and persist over several days or weeks. Hurricanes form near the Equator, generally between 5 and 20 degrees latitude, but never right on the Equator. Hurricanes, on the other hand, are large-scale circulations that are 60 to over 1,000 miles across. Tornadoes have little impact on storms that spawn them or collectively on the global circulation of the atmosphere. Tornado wind speeds may reach 100 to 300 mph and cause havoc on the ground, but tornadoes typically last only a few minutes and rarely travel more than 10 or 20 miles along the ground. For example, a hurricane making landfall may trigger many tornadoes to form. Tornadoes can also form in many other locations and from other forcing factors. Many tornadoes form when the large-scale wind flow leads to a violent clash between moist, warm air traveling north from the Gulf of Mexico and cold, dry, continental air coming from the United States Northwest.
Most tornadoes grow out of severe thunderstorms that develop in the high wind-shear environment of the United States Central Plains during spring and early summer. Tornadoes are small-scale circulations, that are rarely more than a few hundred feet across when they touch the ground. In addition, hurricanes and tornadoes form under different circumstances and have different impacts on the atmosphere. The most obvious difference between a tornado and hurricane is that a hurricane's horizontal scale is about a thousand times larger than a tornado. Local winds are sometimes able to cause a tornado to form that spins in the opposite direction from the typical direction for that hemisphere. The Earth's rotation determines this direction for the storms' rotation in each hemisphere. Hurricanes always and tornadoes usually rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. In both tornadoes and hurricanes, the tangential wind speed far exceeds the speed of radial inflow or of vertical motion.
Both tornadoes and hurricanes are characterized by extremely strong horizontal winds that swirl around their center and by a ring of strong upward motion surrounding downward motion in their center.
