I had a pizzabox curved into a cone, duct-taped to a room-size fan that was in the doorway to the unfinished part of the basement. The fan pushed cold air through an old section of gutter to the back of my PC, where I made a curved piece out of ducttape, cardboard, and plastic wrap. This was duct-tap[ed to the back of my PC where the intake fan was.

@ Your PC. I personally prefer AMD 64 processors. How big is the HD? Good choice w/ nVidia. ATI is slacking off IMO.

I was looking at AMD Phenom, and alot of my friends said to go with Phenom, but I'm pretty sure I remember the Q6600 being cheaper.
Anyway, the HD is a 1TB 7200 RPM WDC (it's int the screenshot, 3rd item down).

This is my main setup with Modded Xbox, normal 360, and a laptop that has an 8800 GTX SLI 1gb (512 per card).

This is my modded Xbox360 that is downstairs because its only 98% finished.

Metkillerjoe, that looks SWEET, I bet it gets like friggin 1000 FPS on Crysis on high with Assassin's Creed running on high in a separate window.
Come on, all the cool kids are evading censors.

The method I was using (running hot air over ice) created tons of condensation. Condensation that creates humidity and ruins the inside of the computer. So I bought a mini fan and re-did the system with some air filters.

So the purpose of this is to reduce dust buildup inside the computer?
