Nov 26 2007Man Takes Computer Cooling Way Too Far
Ever seen a computer case made out of cooling fans? Well here it is. Peter Edge made this case out of 66 individual case fans. The computer inside is "an Intel P4 3GHz Prescott CPU with MSI MS-6540 motherboard, 512MB DDR400 RAM, 40GB ATA HDD, and a 36xCDROM." Seems kind of overkill for a computer with those specs. I was expecting something a little bit more serious on the inside, Peter. That computer would run fine with a pillow smothering it. Under a pile of blankets. On fire.

it probably sounds like a leafblower

You suppose the motors on those fans generate any heat? He should probably consider a secondary, outer shell of fans to cool off this first set.

This guy is an awsome engineer because encasing your computer in fans is really cool. heh heh heh

Actually that Prescott CPU tends to get quite hot. After a few hours of porning, I usually use mine to melt candle wax onto muh balls.

Two words: air intake?

This thing is years old.
KC - The fans go in the same direction: one side for intake one for exhaust.

And worst of all, the guy's terribly outdated since all of his intelligent nerd friends have moved on to liquid cooling. With LEDs. That DOESN'T roar like a hurricane when you flip it on.

so umm what are the fans on the bottom for? i hope this thing can float. no wait i think the other 60 fans will weigh it down nvm.

hmm i wonder if you could add liquid cooling to this case, seems like it has plenty places to add radiators and has ample air flow

it doubles as a fan powered jet pack to quickly escape uncomfortable situations, like talking to girls or trying to get laid...
