80mm hose?

[darth maul]

I have been thinking of getting the Alpha 8045 when I get a new motherboard. And was thinking about trying to find some kind of hose that I could stretch from the alpha to one of my 80mm or even 92mm exhaust fans. That way on each end of the hose there is a fan, one sucking from the Alpha and the other blowing the hot air out of the case. So any ideas on a 80mm flexable hose?

You could mod one of those aluminum flexible clothes dryer vent pipes. Another possibility is the pipe that runs from the exhaust manifold to the air filter cover. I think its aluminum too but has some kind of covering material. Just be careful you dont short anything out.
Have thought about it myself but never tried it. Let us know how it turns out.

You could always go with THIS

or go to this site and search for "hose". You can find all kinds of modding equipment at sites like this or just got to your local hardware store.

it's more fun to do it yourself though. that kit has exactly what i was going to recommend. vacuum hose. i'm sure you can get one for very cheap at a home hardware store or even at the dump for free. add little attachment to seal the fan to the ducting and you're good to go.

Vinyl dryer hose works.
