Aardil...

True the floor has the coldest air, BUT it also has the MOST DUST! And that dust will quickly build up and offset the effects of that position scheme, based not cleaning it often! I have my setup so that it the front bezel ALSO allows it to draw air from the floor too, but just not in the absolute "cold-zone." Dust is a HUGE factor in killing heat efficiency. Not only does it block air flow, it makes for a GREAT insulator! It's got all kinds of pits and pockets which hold in air like a sweater, which traps heat! And looks DISGUSTING... I don't want to have to deal with dust as much.

Boli, you EVIL MAN, loL! You keep coming up with these great ideas and I keep turning them into freak shows of time and size! Ha... actually, with the size of this fan, you can't really make the shroud much smaller...BUT that idea of your's is very tempting, just that I can't afford to play around with cutting the case side panels etc... and then find that it's going to look either like trash, or just not work the way it's intended on paper... but after doing some quick measurements... I THINK I could make a Triangle, BUT have it ported to the non windowed side of my case and well, actually I wouldn't have to make such a steep angled one, since I've got a good 125mm of space between the HCore and the mobo tray and the fans are ~119mm! So the windowed side has lots of space I could make something like this...

It's no AutoCAD but it'll do! I wonder how long this will take to attempt... The last time I spent about 10hrs STRAIGHT, measuring, checking angles, then making a complete cardboard prototype, then trying that out and taping sh!t togeter etc... Then came the drawing up on sheet metal...SOB ---> I don't have ANY left to make this with! I'm going to have to head over to homedepot (CRAP ) It's what 1pm NOW... I could allot say 6hrs MAX for today, since I'm going out tonight Then tomorrow it's up to columbus to H00ter's for the BIG Boxing card!!! Hopkins, Mayorga, Ruiz, Judah is who I'm putting money on! GO GO GO!
