too bad it's oos @ svc

i personally didn't get this because I thought it was kinda ugly, I have a huge window.

Yea, that is pretty ugly. Looks like something from a 70's sci-fi film. Other people have just hotglued acrylic together in a box and made that their duct. But honestly, I don't see ducts being a big thing in cooling, it might get you 1-2C cooler from your original fan because of the lack of a "dead zone" but that's it.

You could make your own for less than $5

you need two fans for those ducts, else loss of cfm from the turns and ridges /distance through tube.

I thought it looked cheap and ugly as well. I'd rather sink my money into liquid cooling.

ok, so wheres the cheapest place to buy hot glue then?

Actually, that piece of duct costs $4 at wal-mart, then with the kit you also get the adapters and the PSU discharge duct. Not a bad deal for $15....

yea looked at home depot.. laundry dryer ducts. 4" diameter or 3" diamter 2.4meters worth costs 8 bucks. you can't buy less. so there goes your "make it for $5" bit.

thats not factoring a nice way to mount it either dunno where you'd buy nice plastic mouts that would work. just have touse glue or tape

i don't mind because the case i'm using it for has no window. and i might duct two fans into one tube for cpu cooling. gotta cut a Y adaptor.
