Very nice. I have a crawl space right behind my computer (well really behind the wall) and was contemplating a way to use this for cooling. Maybe a big water reservoir to use as a heat exchanger and blow cool air into the case. Just thoughts atm.

lol, maybe it would be a cool idea to put your a water cooling resivoir in the "crawl space" and let it sit at a lower temp all year, that way with a lot of room you can have a large bucket resvior like i do and keep water temps low :)

I have 10 gallon buckets (sealable) and wonder if they would make a great reservoir under teh crawl space? Use a pond submersible pump and bingo.
Too bad they didn't make garden hoses out of clear rubber.

My PC is right next to my window, I actually have venting from outside coming directly into the front of the case, current case temps are 12C :yikes:

Actually about a month ago I was playing around with ocing one night. Decided temps. where holding me bk. I took one vacuum cleaner hose and taped a bottle to the end with the bottom cut off. I then taped the bottle to my side intake fan. I did the same with my front intake fan. I dropped my temps enough to get another 50mhz OC which is what I was trying for to hit 2.7. It ran all night fine at 100% load while folding and benches. In the morning when getting ready for work I pulled the hoses bk in the window within 1 minute system crashed and restarted and I had to drop the extra 50 bk off.
Kewl, break out the bucket of beer for cooling. . . .

There you go Snafu ... Hawk came up with the perfect idea for you... after drinking that Keg, just use it for the reservoir in the crawl space ... you'll have a reserhoir :lol:

How did you know it was a keg :suspect: but still a great idea if I coudl remember the next morning what exactly I was trying to do.
harleybro - now that is an inventive way to pull more air through your case. Awfully noisy and draws a lot of juice to make the electric bill go through the roof. Watch the cops though. They'll think you have a grow house in the basement after seeing a spike in electricity use. Woudln't want them kicking in the door on ya'.
Still a cool idea and something to try for competitions.
