The Ultimate Cooler for your PC, only costs47 bucks and some elbow grease.

[mackstann]

nobody in cases&cooling cares about this....so i figured i'd post it here. please mods, be leniant, i want to get the word out on this, it is so cool!



original post in c&c forum:
============================

I'm not going to talk and talk, just go read this. The second page is where it gets good. here

THEN, I found out about .this thread in the overclockers.com forum, and now it seems this has to be the ultimate cooling solution! Once I get some money, I'm doin it.


============================


Well, what do you think?

 

Looks a bit loud and intrusive.

 

[mackstann]

obviously you did not read it!! it is near silent to silent.

 

[pulpp]

thats pretty damn creative and neat man! i love it!!!!!!

damn you desktop guys get all the fun. i been using notebook exclusively like 4 years now.

fvck i want a desktop again!

i would say go for it, i absolutely love it.

 

[mackstann]

sorry pulpp you should get a desktop!!!

once i get some spare money (does that ever happen????) i'm gonna do it!

 

[Sugadaddy]

wow, that's a nice looking case...:disgust:

 

[Muadib]

I'm with you Sugadaddy. I'm all for finding a better cooling solution, but whatever happened to being neat? When you factor in the fact that you're case will become 4-5 inches wider it's a no go. For me at least. If one of you gives it a shot though keep us informed.

You can get smaller ones

 

[skywhr]

order today

 

[Muadib]

Do you know the part number, skywhr?

 

[TuffGuy]

he should've just gotten an antec. all the money he "saved" to get a cheaper case is now being wasted into making it cool. not to mention that he did a half-assed ghetto job. what a waste. :disgust:

Thanks!!

Another way would be to take one from a car's HVAC system (which is already 12V w/ typically 4 speeds), cut a hole in the side of your case for an inlet, then just tweak the airflow adjusting the size of the holes in various places in your case.

The side of my case has perforations, I used masking tape to block certain perforations and allow the remaining ones to be used for exhaust.

 

[pulpp]

bump, for a good idea!

 

[Cooltech2k]

I Herby officially refuse to read anything that would mean any more fans in my house...

 

[erikiksaz]

man, that sounds like a great idea, but i just have a few problems:

1) that blower shore is expensive @ 50 bucks i think?
2) how do you wire that thing to your comp? especially if you want to control the speeds?

 

[b0mbrman]

I don't like doing work...

 

[Soybomb]

$47 on a fan? No thanks. I don't think you'd see that huge a benifit from jsut sticking a gigantor fan on your case if its already flowing well. Volume will only help so much. I'd rather put that $50 toward building a water cooled machine.

 

[mackstann]

God, you guys are thick headed!!!! I will post my results when I get around to doing it....then you will SEE!!

(are all of you even reading both the links???? Don't comment unless you do!!)

 

[db]

Also look for fans from copy machines--these are more compact and come in different shapes. Electronics surplus stores often have them.

 

[skywhr]

let me know how it goes

 

[XzeroR3]

That is so trick its well worth the $50.. People will see that and know you mean business.

So the next step would be??... mount the giant fan directly onto the heatsink?

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I've been considering tests of using a box fan instead of a case side. That way I get about 7500mm fan action!
