Ok anyone whos seen my posts knows I love stupid ideas..
So here's one..
I have an old AT mini tower, unfortunately the cover got destroyed so my radiator basically sits on the tip of the chasis, and sucks air form under th raidaotr and blows it up.. (like koolance radiator, only I don't have an intake fan and my intake is on the bottom).
Igot to thinkin... cases are dirt cheap, and if I ever scrapped up some money for a project would it be plausible to take that case and -
Strip it down and cut out what I can, cut a hole in the top for the radiator to sit on, then mod anything I need to so that I can have a front intake fan at the bottom of the case, and have another fan inside the case to "reflect" the airflow (like a mirror angles light) to point it "up" at the bottom of the radiator.
after that I was thinking either have these possible combinations.
1 bottom fan pushing air and 1 pulling from the top - OR 2 from the top.
2 bottoms fans and 1 pulling out, or 2 bottom fans and 2 top fans pulling out.
Would this design at its basic form work ? which would work the best - and is this really a dumb idea at all, or is it something worth trying ??
I'm also looking for quietness too - so they would be decent CFM near silent fans - and maybe get some soundproofing material to put inside the case as well.
What do you guys think of my crazy **** ? :beer:
