I'm all for being warm, but that breeze would just irritate me. text/html 2005-02-01T10:13:57-05:00 Who Knows? http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235547 nevermind the lian li, i was looking closer at it's design and it defeats the whole purpose cause they ended up elevating the cpu to the top anyway. the silverstone made more sense text/html 2005-02-01T07:52:23-05:00 Who Knows? http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235526 what if they left a thin space between the case wall and the motherboard rack. they could place a fan right underneath the processor on the opposite side of the board... lol i dont know text/html 2005-02-01T07:41:10-05:00 Who Knows? http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235523 i just like the exploration approach. with the reversal thing it's kinna cool cause u can keep the cpu in the lower temps of the case. plus, with the cpu at the bottom there's more space to add a dedicated intake from the front of the case.<br /> i dont know about the windtunnel. it's an idea though<br /> <br /> but now matter where it's placed, i think they could make a custom heatsink/duct just like the stupid btx design text/html 2005-02-01T07:17:31-05:00 Sean B http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235522 That Silverstone WindTunnel? <br /> <br /> The whole upside down concept is kinda lame. text/html 2005-02-01T07:04:57-05:00 Lost Faith http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235521 Hmmm there's a case review with an bottom situated upside-down mobo alignement with a special duct over the CPU/NB with 2 120mmm fans and an extra 80mm intake above those while the psu&amp; harddrives &quot;upstairs&quot; in the case.<br /> the duct did wonders for pc temps.<br /> <br /> I'll try finding that review again. text/html 2005-02-01T06:39:26-05:00 Who Knows? http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235514 that lian li is exactly what i was talking about! i guess that means i cant paten it then, haha<br /> <br /> that's exactly what i wanted to do with the motherboard, keep the hotter components at the bottom.<br /> except it has vents at the bottom, if there's enough heat, the heat will push colder air out text/html 2005-01-31T13:11:47-05:00 Sean B http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235059 The G5 design isn't all too great.<br /> <br /> They copied the LianLi PC-1000.<br /> <br /> <br /> Here's a PC thrown into a G5 case: <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.overclockers.com/tips1133/" target="_blank">http://www.overclockers.com/tips1133/</a><br /> <br /> lol<br /> <br /> Here's the LianLi case: <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-112-051&amp;depa=1" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-1...amp;depa=1</a><br /> <br /> text/html 2005-01-31T12:57:31-05:00 Thermalfreak http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235054 basically theres 3 separate intakes at the front....<br /> <br /> one deals with the motherboard and cpu, one with optical drives and gfx and the last one with HDD and the psu all outakes at the back, uses lots of 'silent' 80mm fans neat idea tho it was kinda big since its dual processor text/html 2005-01-31T12:33:00-05:00 Who Knows? http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235043 that sounds cool, no i havent seen the g5's design. although i was thinking of making isolated ducts for a couple strategic places text/html 2005-01-31T12:17:55-05:00 Thermalfreak http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235036 what about the type of airflow on the apple g-5? frankly it was quite a good idea....<br /> <br /> why limit oneself to a single intake outake system when you can have separate intakes and outakes for groups of components? i would think that dedicated cooling for small groups of componenets could make use of silent fans more effectively text/html 2005-01-31T11:21:17-05:00 Sean B http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235022 Well, the problem with using the rear fan holes for intake is that the PSU exhausts very close to it.<br /> <br /> <br /> Unless of course you want to reverse the PSU's fan to intake, then duct the other side to exhaust out the top. text/html 2005-01-31T11:12:24-05:00 Who Knows? http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/38775/#235019 haha, i'm getting so excited i cant contain myself. lol<br /> <br /> i like those ideas. i was thinking maybe i could use the back openings to put the duct intake since its closest to the cpu. then i could move my optic drives to the bottom bays and use the top bay and case ceiling for exhaust. <br /> i dont know, but it excites me lol
