anyone ever try to cool a heatsink by sucking air through it with a vacume?? iv thought about doing it....but i dont wanna accidently bump the vacume off and fry my cpu...

Most vacuum cleaners are not constant duty, so the motor won't last too long. It's also gonna be as loud as wearing delta's like headphones..:D
If the motor isn't in the vacuum cleaner, it would last longer though. And it would surely suck more air than many other fans you could buy. Just make sure there's plenty of air going into the case so there's not too much load on the vacuum.

Happy experimenting.
