The staff and members at TBCS would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our very own Will, aka SXRguyinMA on being featured by Hack A Day for his innovative top panel in his recently completed TempestSXR project. Want to know more - you can see the Hack A Day article here (http://hackaday.com/2010/10/10/add-on-panel-brings-automated-vents-flaps-to-a-pc/), and the full worklog of the project here (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23156).

Again, our congratulations on this achievement, and thankyou to Snowman for bringing this to our attention!

UPDATE: The good folks over at Lifehacker (http://www.lifehacker.com) have also featured Will's work over on their site. Be sure to check it out here (http://lifehacker.com/5660412/diy-automated-pc+cooling-vent-panel)

UPDATE 2: This mod is really making the rounds! Engadget published this (http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/12/diy-casemod-features-fins-automatically-vents-your-rig/) article, and it can also be seen at [H]ard|OCP in this (http://www.hardocp.com/news/2010/10/12/dude_mods_powered_vents_into_his_case) article.

Thanks guys! I shot an email to the HAD guys telling them it was a neat PC+Arduino mod, and never heard anything. Guess they were too busy making the article :D

Awesome mod dude, and kudos for the publicity.
