There is however a fan that I found at Think Geek which connects Art and Fan into a LED Art Fan.
The LED Art Fan has 42 Leds build into the Fan which can hold up to 128 frames with a maximum capacity of 5 Megabyte. It is for instance possible to use animated gifs that will be shown during rotation or create your own animations or still images. This is great for publicity as well, can't think of something cooler than such a fan that is displaying a company logo during a fare.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m normally that fond of using fans in the summer because most of them are just to loud which makes it problematic to work in the same room with them.

It is a Japanese toy created by Segatoys. The device projects the night sky on the ceiling or a wall in your home. I know it is hard to imagine how this would look like but I guarantee you that it looks incredible if your room is darkened. Segatoys actually created several versions of the Home Planetarium which differ in functionality and price.</p><p>The premium model called <a
href="http://www.audiocubes.com/product/Segatoys_HomeStar_Pro_21st_Century_Home_Planetarium.html">Segatoys HomeStar Pro 21st Century Home Planetarium</a> ($299) has a brighter LED for a clearer picture and is able to rotate the night sky automatically. Last but not least it supports shooting stars which the other versions do not. The so called <a
href="http://www.audiocubes.com/product/Segatoys_HomeStar_Pure_Home_Planetarium.html">Pure Home Planetarium</a> ($139) costs only half of the price of the Pro version but lacks the aforementioned features. The Home Planetarium is using disks to project the night sky onto the ceiling. It ships with a disk for the Northern night sky and additional disks can be ordered that display the <a
