Air cooling....:)
I seen this on Slashdot and had to share....
A case made of casefans. All of them work and the fans cover 95% of the total area. Here's the link and here's a preview pic (if it works). I like case mods like this. It's ingenius, it's fun and it requires a lot more talent than stripping to re-finish a case and calling it mod.

All it needs now is a case over the case, so it doesn't look so ugly.

stadard case fans arent exactly quiet, but i really do what to know how hes powering it, cause a standard case fan can use around 5W, so 70 fans = 350W, even if he underpowered them so they go a few hundred rpm each say 2W = 140W total. .....
hmm actually that would work, assuming a 600W power supply - 300W for PC components, and if the fans are going 800rpm each. it would be very quiet if they are secured really well and have plenty of power, hmm now im interested. if the fans were better arranged it could be quite effective. at the mo there is a conflicting air path, it would be better to blast it from the back, bottom and maybe even front, and force the air out the top and sides.

I can't see how efficient this case would be. Airflow is all about sending a straight shot of air with an entry and exit point across whatever item you want to cool off. All these fans would be pushing air against itself.
I love the creativity though. |

It seems to me that this wouldn't be very efficient. I can't think of a good arrangement of intake/exhaust fans that would generate a good flow of air across the components. Cooling is much more effective with smooth flows across components, not blasting air down onto them.

electric bill would be hell... thats like $200 worth of fans.
that would sounds like a jet.

I think some of you are taking this way too seriously.
I don't believe the guy did it because it was an efficient way to cool his system, I think he did it for fun. Dilbert...you're right! I didn't even think about the electricity that thing must be drawing, I was too busy imagining what it would sound like all fired up.
