My computer, now with added ghetto!

I got a new Antec 920 and a QX6850. I come to discover that (obviously) with my huge northbridge heatsink, the 920 will not fit in my case with even a single fan attached. My solution? Attach a fan to the outside of the case

I am going to gather the tools/stuff together to modify the top of my case to mount the setup up there. Until then, my case is just a little more ghetto

Edit: Just did some stress testing to see how hot things got with my less-than-ideal configuration. The hottest core was hitting <60c with Prime 95.

That gets 1/2 a food stamp. It's not all that ghetto. But this a help of a nb hsf!

That's to be expected. Northbridges nowadays do not produce much heat.
