Silverstone Wind tunnel?

[Kreator]

Anyone seen this case? Some type of very unique design wondering the thoughts / comments about it...

Anyone also know some other cases which are large and with stock config support a fan-setup similar to this? I currently use an aspire x-cruiser and im just too cramped for space and its limiting my airflow.

explain how and what it does

from what i can tell it pulls the air towards the MB better, was wondering if anyone had experience doing this themselves and if it was a waste of time / money or something that may create better air flow

I've got the Enermax copy of that case. First thing I did was take the stupid thing out

Big waste of plastic imo. Heat rises so the wind tunnel is going to do next to nothing. What's the point of trying to vent air out the bottom back of the case?

? Heat rises IF it's not being moved along by air pressure. That's like saying having horizontal heat piping for a furnace is useless.

The idea of a "wind tunnel" is to have the cpu/ram heat pulled out the back of the case, instead of rising and affecting the temperature of the videocard. This is especially important if the case is a psudo-BTX (upside down ATX) layout like this one is.

While having the tunnel in place may not substantially affect the temperature of the CPU, I'd be surprised if removing it doesn't raise the video card's temperature.
