Windrivers Game Server Needs Cooling

[Garak]

way cool man, im working on a new cooling mod for my server (need to cool it down) cos its gonna be on all day & night for u guys to play....

so ideas and pictures, reviews post here..

its a Dell workstation 400 (with some slight upgrades) so its gonna be hard to mod it with the ammount of space i had, but it definatly needs cooling, the hard drives are running super hot aftr 36hrs, standard coolers wont fit into the bays... oh the joy of modding cases..

As a stopgap measure, get a 12" oscillating fan (the kind that sits on a table) and have it blow directly into the case. I did this when I didn't have air conditioning to prevent my computer from baking.

use and 80 or 92 mm hole saw and buy lots of fans...i prefer Sunon but there are others just as good, a couple of finger guards, possible some ducting and you should be all set
