dont go buying expensive fans and cooling systems,
just take the side off ya case and place a common fan 1.57Meters away on its lowest setting.



case closed!

How much does on of those fans cost?




case closed! I don't think your idea would work very well with the case closed. ;)

A pretty simple and resourceful idea :)

Just don't get one of these near it :lol:

I wish I coulda shown you my old setup. Had a large cooler, 32x18x32, right next to the side of my pc. Thread is too old though. It cooled my cpu down about 8 C and case about 5.

Yeah, I had this setup as well.

But when i put my case on top of my desk next to my monitor it just didnt work out...

...the fan would blow creating "wave-like" vibrations on my screen.

good idea if your case is nowhere near your monitor :)
