The underside of my Seagate 2.5" Harddrive has many copper dots exposed, so I intend the mounts I am fabricating to allow nothing anywhere near the bottom side. + having free space allows cooling air flow to get to that side. (HDDs need air, SSDs not so much)

They shipped my gpu fan plugs Saturday

I believe they make them up themselves by wiring a plug and socket together with REALLY short wires and heatshrinking it to shape. You could make your own, but moddiy is where I get that kind of thing from. The shipping is for an envelope stuffed full so buying a whole bunch of stuff at...

The problem with filter is accumulation. A way to decrease the rate of accumulation is to increase the surface area, why furnace filters are pleated. Plan A: enclose entire case in box made of furnace filters, with a hole for exhaust air.

I guess there needs to be 2 specs for volume, like wet weight and dry weight for motorcycles. Enclosed volume and used volume, used volume should include the space required by the plugs on the cords, audio, video etc, power brick, handle, PCIe flange , feet, Like that. A separate...

Stronger than Steel. 1mm for most, 2mm for structure, 3mm to stand on it to change lightbulbs.

I think ya gotta count the feet, the surface it is sitting on is a necessary part of the case, as the wall is for a wall mounted case, it forms the 6th side. Granted most all cases have an added bottom and spacers but that is just wasted space when there is a perfectly good side already waiting.

Pi X radius squared of fan = area of fan. Add the lengths of the bottom sides (all 4). Divide the fan area by the total length of the sides. = optimal height Use the same units. So a 120mm fan = 11,310 square mm area A 100 x 100mm case bottom = 400mm 11,310 % 400 = 28mm high foots...

"Has anyone found a "case fan-to-GPU fan" adapter, or is there decent software that can manage specific fans based on GPU temperatures?" I have the same question

"I was worried about hot air cycling inside." Reasonable, a 2w nightlight bulb can get hot enough to melt its plastic housing. The temperature will rise until it is hot enough to force the amount of heat it is producing into the environment. Since it is low watt it shouldn't take much...

I like how it has internal vanes to direct airflow to the heatpipes / hottest part of fins.
