Vented My PC To My Attic

Version 2.0 could definitely be a lot better but you don't always think of everything on your 'prototype'. It would be better if I made it out of all one solid box instead of a pieced together abomination but it seems to be doing the job :) I have yet to go into the attic and place my hands or a temperature probe in the ducts up there and see what temps are floating around but I no longer feel all the radiant heat from this computer, the PSU was basically exhausting right toward my legs/desk area. For those wondering I have three 120mm fans that are attempting to push the hot air up through the 6'' ducts, heat rises naturally so I'm hoping that helps my cause.

Did you make holes in ceiling or using existing? rather odd mod but it makes sense.

I made holes. Had this room been remodeled I wouldn't have 'ruined' it more but it's old plaster up there so I figured who cares, cutting through that and the wood lathes with a jab saw was such a mess but I'm happy with the results so far :) Won't be sweating too much this Summer. If I can spare money I'll be buying myself an all mesh chair as well.

Rain, snow, wind just to name a few reasons, there are many more.

Just about, I've been with my GF for over a year and I've known her since we were 17, if there was a woman I'd marry it'd be this one. If the time does come that we own a place together she knows her place :D
