Attach heatsink to case?

[RockGuitarDude]

Has anyone here tried to provide a solid link from their CPU heatsink to the case to get more heat dissapation?

Seems like a good idea to me, especially if the case is aluminum.

The thought of using your case as a giant heatsink is good. This SFF PC is designed that way - http://www.hoojum.com/ But the problem is the amount of precision to machine the necessary components to accomplish this.

Well doing it yourself would be a nice idea i assume... a blow torch and a heatsink... attach it to tubing... and take it to the case
.... that would be incredible
im gonna make my case this summer... ill be sure to post temp. results...
