Nice, but MORE PICS!!!

Very nice, but couldn't you have made it more compact or it was on purpose you made it "this" big?

Sorry, the baseball display cubes were just a little too small.

LOL, it's true though that you can't go wrong for $20.

Seems like you should have the rad and fan attached to that hole on the top...

That's what I was thinking too. Would probably help dissipate heat better since it wouldn't get "stuck" in the cube while going up.

I may still do that. When I seal it all up, the temps just aren't as good. So that may be a good option. Thanks!!

I'll need to be recovering from today first though!!

Mod it.
Though seriously, I think it would be better if the rad was on top and you could put 1-2 fans inside a plexi or other material tunnel that would blow on it. Very basic drawing of what I mean. Kind of enclosing the rad airflow. Just an idea like that.

^^^Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. But you probably don't have to go through the trouble of making a shroud or duct from fan 2 to fan 1... The whole setup is separated from everything else anwyay and there really isn't anything else in that box that would product any amount of significant heat to create the need for a duct.

It wasn't really for heat insulation but to isolate and direct the flow of air.

I'm not quite sure it's the best setup, but since the bottom fan will suck air from the table it's on (airflow gets partially cut, all depending on feet height) it compensates for the rad (which also cuts the airflow). Not a negative or positive pressure, should be good. Or I'm just a tad crazy.

(that last paragraph was a lil' joke, the first sentence summed my whole idea)
