Anyone have any experience with this Aluminum Chenming/Xsonic case?

Its using the same chassis the lanboy is built on, which has good cooling for its size and is very light.
The additional fanhole in the window makes this potentially great for a ducting system.
Personally, I'd look at the X-Dreamer for a similar case that is already modded for excellent airflow.
Replacing that window fan with a simple duct over the cpu would drastically improve the cpu temp (your a7n8xdlx lines up almost perfect i believe). Plus it has a temp gauge on the front if you are into monitoring. They all look almost the same to me.
 
Thanks amcdonald.... is there any links to the ducting system you are talking about so i can figure it out? what materials would be needed?
Thanks!
 
Here is a setup that has been referred to several times on this board. I've done basically what pelikan did as far as the duct goes. You could take this idea and adapt it to the 80mm window hole.
Since the hole is only 80mm, you couldn't use the exact same setup as pelikan.
Or maybe have the window fan blow towards the cpu, the cpu fan blowing into the heatsink, and place tubing connecting both. You could just glue one end to the window fan and cut the tubing to come right up to the other fan, or vice versa. You might also want to paint the tubing, which could be interesting with UV paint and some uv ccfls.
