    imho that is not ghetto at all, very nice and clean, well thought out, and looks fantastic to boot... but could you imagine trying to carry that through an air port in todays day and age?

    Not sure if this is ghetto as such, but I'm trying to decide how to make my window(s) on my P182.

    Unfortunately I don't have pics of any of the ghetto mods I've done in the past

    Radiator shrouds of out cardboard.
    Waterblocks held down with zipties.
    Geforce 2 GTS w/ a Thermaltake Volcano 7+ heatsink glued to the core.

    thread

    an experiment i did with a socket 462 setup ->

    1st pic - case made of string, paperclips and 1 rubber band (i made a "case" like this for our flat computer, my flatmates loved it)
    2nd pic - a heatsink glued onto the back of the motherboard with speedfan recording the temperature difference when i dropped the heatsink onto the pool of glue (42-38) and then when i turned on the fan (38-36)
    3rd pic - a small cardboard box i made, sealed on the inside with varnish, then glued to the back of the motherboard, with speedfan recording the temperature drop when i filled it with water
    and then the temp starts to creep back up on the last graph as the water warms up

    this thread is awesome

    a few years back i had a ghetto box too
    i used an old maxtor hdd box, put in a couple of
    hard drives, cd rom, and some of fans, the mobo
    was sitting on top because the box was too small

    ps. i still have the box but the mobo is dead

    Heh...

    You guys haven't something this horrifying ...










    The mobo is sitting on a netgear box... It does a darn good job of keeping my mobo off the ground

    This is only a temporary solution as I am modding my Antec 900 as I am making it wire management friendly


    Edit: Oh I forgot. It has been running 3 days straight. Quite coolly too I might add.
