Default Had a silly little idea...

It's probably silly, but I was just thinking about it and figured I'd ask.

Couldn't you use your case itself as a big heatsink in a watercooling loop? Such as attaching a block, or building a larger block for more surface area, to say the top or side panel? Wouldn't it add some sort of cooling? Or would the metal just warm up to the temp of the water and become useless, or am I just nuts?

Or would simply adding a 2nd radiator be easier and more effective?

I think I read that you could add as many radiators into a loop as you wanted, but it wouldn't make a bit of difference if the air flowing through it wasn't any cooler, or if the 1st rad was still being effective and still had headroom. Or something like that...
