I need to work on my grip strength and endurance. This seemed as good a place to start as any.

I’ve never seen so many fans in a PC case in my life lol

I hope it serves well.

Thank you, I'm very pleased with it. It's a huge upgrade from my old case that was an old case from a Pre-Built I bought a few years ago. The airflow was terrible as it had a closed front panel. My cpu is running 7-8°c lower at idle. I have the front-side 3 and bottom 3 intake and rear one and one on top for exhaust. Not quite filling all 10 fan spaces but nearly 😄

Edit - Finally brought back upstairs. She's heavy...

How well do these work? I always thought they were BS but it has to be useful, right?
I used some similar contraptions for years when i used to climb regularly and i'd say they certainly do help with grip strength. I found it helped more when i'd not been bouldering (the type of climbing i ended up doing most) for a few weeks. But like any kind of muscle training, it takes regular effort to see any real improvement. There's no quick fix.

Depends what you want from it though too. In the end i found regular climbing, using the exact sets of muscles over and over again, worked better than just trying to train those muscle through different exercises which may not target the exact ones in the same way. I suppose its a form of calisthenics.
