not really a mod maybe just ghetto?

so, to save money on the air conditioner, I have a 120mm case fan on my desk blowing at me.
would you call that ghetto?

 

right on lol

 

you could even try placeing a towel behind it to collect moisture from the air that is blowing to your face

 

oooh, I can use a glass full of ice cubes maybe :w00t: chill the air a bit!

 

got a pic of this lovely mod?????!!!!

 

lemme know when you get an HSF chin strap

 

o shi... I can stick an HSF to my forehead!! ah but I don't have any spare

no pics, gutter, but I can desribe very vividly for you. just imagine a black wooden desk . . . upon it is a 120mm fan pointed directly at my searing soul . . . the sucker spins quietly, pushing a gentle breeze helping me to keep from overheating (if that happens, I lock-up in a coma or crash to floortop). oh and it's connected to the rear molex port on the back of the power supply.

 

that is such a visual... but a dang good idea vampy, I am tempted to having one for myself lol think 5 tornado jet engines blowing your hair back like you are in a picture shoot as you pose for someone on web cam haha....

on a scale of 1 - 10 how well does it cool you off? especially in intense gaming lol

 

it's actually pretty decent. not like a normal room fan, but does help still.
I idle at 98.3ºF, and I'm at 98.9ºF load . . . was 99.2ºF load before.

 

that is classically quotable

 

the flux really isnt that bad, not too hot yet not too cold, right now my core temperature is probably 98.4 but external more around heat dissapation is around 83.9 +/- most likely minus 20 degrees as im freezing haha. Ambient temp is looking at 53 all in F

 

Put a thin filter on it and you have a ghetto air-purifier as well.

 

hehe that's like my old make shift PC case air conditioner. Invloving two 120mm 5700rpm fans (loud, pushing 430CFM of air) and two tumble dryer air ducts connected to the case and hanging out of the window. Obviously only works during winter

 

gone one better, go find an old cylinder style fan and put it on top of your case..lol. I found one at a used electronics parts store to cool telephone exchange cases, it moves air very very efficiently..lol

 

you know you're 1337 when....

that's pure 1337 right there :rofl:

 

it crossed my mind...you could add a heatsink under it and attach heatpipes from heatsink to your ears&forehead, this should keep you cool

 

the point of ghetto is to spend as little money as possible
the most I'd consider doing is upgrade to water cooling . . . buy a little squirt bottle, fill with water and spray on me every now and then . . . .
increases the cooling potential of the fan by a lot!

 

naw, go all out and get a squeeze breeze!

 

does that say N-Sync on there? :hmm: I dunno about you, man

 

Don't laugh, me and some buddy's a couple years ago were bumming around Wasaga beach and went into this dollar store and picked up these neon green visors that had fans in the brims to blow cold air down over your face, only cost a buck, plus another buck for some AA batteries.
