Pointers on how to make a cool case...

[bobsaget]

I am making a case. It will be your standard ATX case. The dimensions are 20x20x8".

I am making it out of some cheap sheet metal that will be painted black.


Can you guys give me some pointers on making a cool case (by cool, i mean, temps )???



Thank you

A few bits of info can be found here.
Nothing earth-shattering but still good info to be reminded of.
Maybe it'll help.

just make the framework for it, put acryllic on all sides and drill holes all over it in cool patterns.
I'm not serious, but give it a try lol...

just have the airflowin in one way. 2 80s in the front 2 80s blowing out. and have if possible have an exaust fan blowing out on the top of ur box. Heat rises.

You could build the entire case out of fans. Fans for walls, and more fans for the mobo tray.
