Thermaltake's Riing 12 Trio RGB fans can be voice-controlled with Amazon's Alexa

We don't normally cover case fan launches here on PCWorld, because while proper airflow is a key component of any build, fans don't tend to be that exciting. Thermaltake's just-announced Riing Trio 12 RGB stands out from the crowd of spinning blades with a unique twist: Amazon Alexa support. In the third quarter of 2018 TT RGB Plus will gain Alexa voice support, so you can control it via Amazon's Echo. Saying "Alexa, tell Thermaltake..." will cue Alexa to activate a skill that allows you to customize the fans' lighting to match local weather conditions, kick off various lighting modes, or enable a "Hello TT" showcase mode. The weather mode sounds kind of goofy, but it could add some nifty ambiance if your computer room looks outside.
