sorry for the crappy image
since my case has limited airflow i add heatsink to cool the chip. i use old heatsink from broken psu, cut it and make some fins. add little glue and so far it works pretty good

I used a bunch of leftover ramsinks that i bought and stuck them on just about every chip on my mobo
I only needed four on the GPU so the other 4 went on the mobo

nvidia logo case wood edition

hey guys
i have made this case by my self
and this picture i take in the competition in isreal at 8/22/12



i took the 3rd place





it is and 32 inch tv



i ask my self why there is no nvidia logo case ? just cases edit by nvidia and CM
so i start build by my self this case , first of all i build it to my self and when i almost finish the case i see the advertisement that tells there will be an OC and MODING competition
so i finish to build this case and took the 3rd place in the competition
i built this case slowly and it takes me like 4-5 months to finish it

i built a stand too for this case that allows him to spin 360 deg by a 80mm fan



and i also built blinds for the front case tho hide the 3X80mm fans , i make it from blza



this case can contain an a micro ATX mother board
to close the fans and protection from dust i use "Mosquito net" at the front and top
and to allow a good air flow , the temp inside the case is the same like the room temperature +\- 2deg on idle temp

all the cese is made from wood except 5 aluminium parts that i have made from cd reader
3 alunidium parts hold the PCU and the 2 others holds the HDD in place


the full gallery you can see here

enjoy

Love this thread! to me functionality trumps aesthetics everytime when it comes to hardware, wish I still had pics of all my skt 939 mods! at one point I had a donated mini fridge I converted into a convection/push'n pull fan refrigerator cooler for my pc lol that mini fridge is now reincarnated into a mini keg cooler for my lil brother's college draft beer setup

edit: Ingenuity combined with a logical imagination is a wonderful thing, don't ever let stigmas or complexions get in the way of maximizing performance/bank. The more you save by adapting stuff you already own, the more disposable dough you'll have to spend on the next gen stuff of tomorrow is my motto

I got that one. Don't get it. They also make a front device that comes without the HD stuff and without its own fan. Since the EX-33N fan was so weak, it was a waste.

But you have the right idea: both bay devices hold fans and are filtered.
