ha!

people like the hood scoop delete.

M3n2c3 · 2005-08-09, 01:46 AM

Looks good. I like the wing, as well.

JonnydaJibba · 2005-08-09, 03:03 PM

Yeah looks sweet.

Evo Mike · 2005-08-10, 01:18 PM

i'd better watch out for that guy :*(

U53D · 2005-08-10, 01:27 PM

i have met this guy in person. I delivered a pizza to his place the other day... pretty cool guy. Notice his headlights are all clear... no one else has i dont think. maybe its just me

Nick Koan · 2005-08-10, 01:29 PM

yeah, he's started coming out to meets occasionally, ever since he drove by randomly a month or so ago. Matt's a cool guy.

Kostamojen · 2005-08-10, 01:38 PM

That was matts car? I didnt even recognize it...

Man, ive been waiting for someone to make a scoop delete like that forever.

Nick Koan · 2005-08-10, 01:40 PM

Different Matt. This is an older guy, with kids.

Oh.... LOL!!!

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-08-10, 03:27 PM

That "vent" is so close to the base of the windshield that it may not be doing anything at speed. High pressure builds up in that area.

Nick Koan · 2005-08-10, 04:01 PM

As I understand it, air will still get sucked down into the vent, no? Certainly not as helpful as expelling air would be.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-08-10, 04:42 PM

The normal idea is to expel air out of a hood vent, to reduce front-end lift at high speeds.

M3n2c3 · 2005-08-10, 09:19 PM

he has a front-mount IC, right?

right, but Austins point is that hood vents are usually used to expel air, and this setup probably doesn't.

M3n2c3 · 2005-08-10, 09:50 PM

Gotcha. So its effectiveness will depend on whether the pressure of the air passing through the engine bay from the front is more powerful than the air passing over the vent?

Nick Koan · 2005-08-10, 09:55 PM

I think so.

I personally dont' think it'll hurt being there, but it may not do a whole lot. It certainly looks different rather then having an unnecessary scoop (due to the FMIC).

M3n2c3 · 2005-08-11, 04:11 PM

he could put a fan in it. . .

sorry, my PC-mod geekery is beginning to bubble up

Total of 11 fans in there - an air-cooled beast!

Anyway, if it's not helping his airlfow but not hurting, no reason to not do it just for the looks!

Nick Koan · 2005-08-11, 04:24 PM

only 11?

this case has 70.

M3n2c3 · 2005-08-11, 04:28 PM

Meh. I thought about it, but A) I don't make enough money to cover the electricity bill, and B) I don't make enough money to buy all the asprin I'd need to deal with the noise-induced headaches.

That is a pretty insane case. There's a problem, though. Ideal PC cooling has cool air drawn in from the front and left (non-MB) side, with hot air being expelled back and top. The only time right-side cooling really comes into play is if you want to draw some air off of the backside of the mobo, and it's not usually very effective.

This case, however, has conflicting intake - front and back. Plus, he has air coming from the top, when (since hot air rises) you want to expel from the top. He also cites exhaust on the bottom, but. . . um. . . yeah, it's kinda sitting on a desk. Not much airflow there.

So there's lots of conflicting intake, with not enough effective exhaust (the right side's effectiveness is decreased due to the mobo being in the way). This will most likely just create a pocket of warm air over the mobo.

I set mine up with the front intake passing over the HDDs (for cooling) and the side intakes blowing directly over the cpu and video core. The top exhaust vents hot air that would have otherwise collected in the front corner by the DVD-ROM/CD-RWs. The rear exhaust and PSU fans serve to pull the hot air off of the cpu. Normally, hot air would also pocket in the lower back corner (under the sound card), but the case also has vents to allow that air to vent naturally. Higher CFM in than out aids this.

All that and a nice big copper hs/fan for the cpu makes for some decent overclocking.

Heh. There I go again. Ok, enough thread hi-jacking from me.

tysonK · 2005-08-11, 08:59 PM

what,

computer fans?

M3n2c3 · 2005-08-11, 09:51 PM

what do you mean?

tysonK · 2005-08-11, 09:58 PM

this has been sitting in my room for awhile.

too lazy to put it in.
