Awesome. I wonder if the dolphin sticker on the front of the case enhance cooling performance.

My contribution to this thread...

Probably don't even need the duct as its only a 45W X2 4050e (2.1GHz), but I couldn't pass up an opertunity to make some ultra-ghetto mods!

Does the duct actually do anything?

And PkG, why the Playstation, why.

looks like there is a fan on the end sucking air away from the cpu sink

Ghost742 is right there is a fan at the end of that Duct
I think the concept is like a vacuum that sucks air out
I have seen old servers having ducts it has almost the same concept

Exactly. That way there is always some airflow, and changing the speed of the fan will have a larger effect on the CPU temps (so it wont have to speed up as much during load). Seems to work quite well as the PC is nearly inaudible at full load, with temps never breaking 40°C. I never tested it without the duct though.

since the filter was going to offer some resistance to the air-flow i decided to make it larger than the fan, it probably ended up with the surface area of about 1.8 120mm fans. it's powered by a USB charger for an mp3 player that broke, ie it runs at 5V. it's made of a piece of stiff plastic screwed into the fan, foam tape insulating the join between the plastic and fan, a piece of polystyrene board as a spacer, and some sticks to stop the polystyrene part from caving inwards from the pressure of the pantyhose stretched over it. the size of the gaps in the pantyhose with it stretched as it is is probably about .5mm by .5mm, ie it'll be letting through 'dust' but stopping 'fluff'. i'm hoping that as 'fluff' builds up on the filter it'll become the filter and improve the filtering power - of course the air-flow will be reduced as this happens, but air-flow isn't a huge deal with this thing.

most of the air blows into the top vent of the DSL modem, while one edge of the fan is meant to blow some air through the side vent of the wireless router and out the other side. the fan's tied in place with string, and stopped from vibrating the whole board by 3 pieces of foam between it and the dsl modem.

and a stock pentium dual core heatsink on a 7950 GT :confused: :D

screws with their base roughened with sandpaper superglued onto the ram & power circuitry for cooling..
the copper plated thingy on the back is a small square cut out of something i pulled off the back of a gigabyte motherboard (it was under the CPU socket) - insulated from the back of the gfx card with foam soaked in silicon based TIM material. the metal v was part of a s939 stock heatsink. and a bit of very taut builder's twine with a dab of superglue to stop it slipping around holds it together

Wow! I've never seem anything like it before.
Do the memory heat sinks actually allow you to clock the memory any higher?

Screws as mem sinks, that is genius.

well the mod was done for a friend, a non-overclocking friend ;(
so i think the mem's running @ stock
my only regret is not putting 2, 3 or 4 screws on each mem chip instead of just 1

i once spent 30 minutes on a motherboard gluing a screw to every capacitor and piece of exposed silicon - when i was finished the board looked like a hedgehog, it was beautiful :rofl:
