Does this look like it would work?





You Need to copy and paste links, sorry.



Basic case setup:

Air Flow:

The ducting over the CPU will contain a HSF and will be completly encased inside of the ducting. The HSF will be a CpuMate. The new one that has the fan mounted on the side so it will all flow in the same direction.

Air will be forced into the case through the ducting and will be driven by a squirrel cage blower

With this setup, do you think it may be possible to make the heatsink an slk-900 or would that be too big for a 3" tube?
 
Lets see if this works

A basic case setup doesn't suck the air from bottom and out the top, it sucks from front and exhausts out the back.
 
That's why I have the circulating fans at the bottom of the case and the exhaust at the top. I don't have an intake at the front of the case.
