CrossFlow...The Next Evolution.

[markkleb]

I just finished my latest mod. This is the 3rd version and the Modding Gods were against me all the way...

I got waylaid in the middle building another comp for another mod contest, the AntecTheDark. At least it won, woohoo! But it took 2 weeks away from CrossFlow.

Ok the idea for CrossFlow is Size of a Qpack, Very Quiet, Excellent OCer and Good Gamer. (gotta look cool as well) My Qpack was a nice comp but FULL of junk.

(and thats just 1 Video Card)

So for this version I thought if the PS was Below the mobo that would free up a LOT of space. It also keeps the heat away from the mobo. Origionally I was gonna use a wall of AC fans for the cooling but it was a little much.

so I came up with this idea using a Crossflow fan from CM (cool name)

Since the Hdds are seperate of the Mobo/PS tray I decided to put them into a sliding tray so they could be removed

(the groves are for extra cooling and the big hole is the intake for the crossflow fan)

Wow neat concept. I bet all those fans are as noisy as hell. Nice case post some more pictures to let us marvel at it.

Great looking mod, I love the industrial look it's got going for it!

All those fans too....can I come stand behind it next summer when it gets too hot? You're gonna have a mighty chilly pc :)

Does that crossflow has a big CFM value?
The mod looks awesome :D
