OMG that is hilarious!

First off, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but even if you could do that I think it would reduce performance...

Second, I don't think you could find a case that would fit in...

Third, your neighbors wouldn't get any sleep, and you'd probably do time for having something that loud.

I use a Dragon Orb 3 and love it btw, except it is noisy... but I'm hoping to get my first H2O rig up by this weekend!

It doesn't matter how high you stack crap...it's still crap.

Heh, someone finally caught on to my Photoshop'ed Thermaltake Dragon Turbine HSF. I did it to illustrate a point, I had contacted Thermaltake to see if it was possible, since they sell the orange orb caps. Once again, here's the description of the cap:

Designed for upgrading your orbs:

CHROME ORB

MINI CHROME ORB

GOLDEN ORB

MINI GOLDEN ORB

INDIGO ORB

DRAGON ORB

I read it as you could stack the fans on top of each other, thus shown in the picture. Thermaltake took it's sweet time getting back to me and this is what I got in reply:

"Hi,

It is a add-on fan. You will not be able to stack them up.

Service Dept."

I'm still confused, if it's an add-on, where do you bloody add it? Especially on the Dragon Orbs! Who knows....

I also did this one just for the heck of it:

Glad you guys had a joy off my pics :D

If we lived in a perfect world, the top pic would produce 95 CFM.

As for the water one.. I actually considered it, a little hard to explain in words, but thicken up the Dragon Orb 3, and have channels in the heatsink fins where water cascades down them to pool at the bottom. Not only air cooling the CPU, but water cooling it to ;)

Just an idea I was tossing around.
