...... what would you make it out of? clear would be the best looking in my case i think...any way to make a good clear duct?

You could make an acrylic duct.

Here an acrylic duct:

K.

Are the fans held into the center from the top of the heatsink?
In other words...can the guts be pulled out from the top?
If so, how is that assembly mounted?

Alright, I wasn&#39;t sure of this so I shut off my comp and played around a bit.
The very top clear plastic "grill" is easily removable
Below that is the circuit board, which is also easily removable (can slide off the top once clear grill is removed, wires still attatched to circuit board)
However, the main fan in the middle is attatched through the bottom somehow and it is near impossible to see how, I&#39;m sure it could come out, just not easily for sure....

Hmmmm....
I was hoping that there might be an easy way to mount a duct assembly of some sort to the top of the HS.....

I was looking at the cooler in a store and it was in the package so it was hard to see details.

Nothing a Dremel can&#39;t cope with.....

Nah, I like my PC in a more normal case.

I may disassemble mine soon and see how hard it would be to get that fan out. Maybe if you took the entire top off, from the fins and up, leaving just the copper plate at the bottom, maybe the fan would slide out that way...
the reason I don&#39;t do it now is because scottwile has all my arctic silver 5 so I wouldn&#39;t be able to put it back on till tomorow and I need it tonight
but I&#39;ll probably play around with it tomorow (even though it is my b-day, i have no friends for a party so I&#39;ll sit at home and mod...)

Coincidentally, I have been working with a client on just such a thing...very different in detail, but the concept of having the PC ( in his case- 3 PCs&#33 incorporated into the structure of the desk itself is the same.
Very interesting design exercize...

who said anything about selling it? anyway, i would imagine he woud just remove the parts and put them in a case or sell them seperately?

thats pretty cool, my friend tried to do that with a server case, it has a 486 motherboard, a k6-2 500mhz mobo, an a 800mhz duron mobo in the one case, but he couldnt figure out how to get the i/o ports to be on teh back, so instead u have to reach into teh case from behind to plug in the wires.

K,
Look at this duct....made from jewel cases.

Happy birthday.
I&#39;ll bring cake and Kool-Ade to the forum tomorrow.
Any requests?
