Default A "Boli Tube"

Thought I’ll share my results on airflow.

NB: this is purely science by experimentation and I can’t say – this got me a 0.56*C decrease in temperature

After playing around with tubes and tunnels to bring the cold air in from the outside of my case to the inside I have come to the conclusion that a “Boli tube” (i.e. it isn’t all there ;P) is a better way of directing airflow than I first realised.

A few pics:







All I can say is it ACTUALLY works and is a lot easier to work around than those fully encased cardboard/flexible plastic ducting I was woking on before.

At first it was just a "go between" while I was mesauring up the side parts but there seems to be no difference betwene it if I included side panneling at all. and the process works all the better if a fan runs at the front and "throws" the air up the tube.

Flame away, but I just thought it was a stroke of accidental genius if I have ever seen it.
