There was one video with NCIX Esther I believe, from a LAN party or a convention of sorts, where this one guy had a separate room fan right on top of his computer, which had a cardboard tunnel that connected the fan with the CPU, guy said that it was the only way to make his computer work.

Can´t get the pic right now, will thy and look for it.

Found this '07 Mac Pro case on the side of the road completely gutted, thought I'd do a bit of a mod challenge but go bored half way through. The graphics card is literally the only thing holding the motherboard in place except for a little piece of wood I found in the garage that sits at the bottom which the mobo rests on. I am using zero motherboard standoff mounts as the current ones are non ATX, they just have so tape on them so they don't damage the back of the mobo. The fans are secured using double sided tape and I don't even have a side panel. Been using it for the last two or so months. I couldn't be bothered cutting that metal thing out of the top to make room for the PSU so I just bent it up :P The screws at the back are also the only thing holding the PSU up, and I'm not using an I/O shield for the mobo, just cut the back out. I also use a lead pencil with a Jamaican headed dude at the end of it to hold up the GPU's weight, which effectively also holds up the mobo. I'll get a new case one day... thinking about modding my old Bitfenix Shinobi. Notably, the air flow is fantastic. And yes, I did the whole putting back together on a shaggy carpet rug. I like to live on the edge. Build of the week potential?

That looks more like phase-change cooling than water cooling if that is an air-con unit.

Well it's summer there, it's hot in Texas as is. Drop your OC during the rest of the summer?

It was just lucky  :) But I really will get around to finishing it off one day, I just don't have a lot of spare time at the moment and I wanted to get it working. I'll make it up to you  ^_^

My case (HAF912 Plus) didn't have a USB3.0 port in the front. This is how I fixed it. I cable-tied an extension cable on the top :P
