Keeping a Computer Tower Cool the Easy Way

Ware is the trailer hitch?

I used to have a window fan that could blow either direction.  So, if so equipped you could flip a switch and blow the dust out.

Ok, I'll buy that. 

   A good theory anyway 

It would not surprise me to learn that there is a speed controller for the fan atop the frame that is holding it 

Kinda looks like the fan's stock speed control (the usual 3-speed AC motor setup) is, indeed, mounted on top.  Looking at envador.com, the modder's website (lower left in the photo), I see this case won Grand Prize for mods at QuakeCon 2000.

not every amd will work hot, same for intel cpus, opterons afik, are not popular for being hot but not cold either, as normal as other cpus, still not much common in a desktop pc

mostly the heat comes from the southbridge and the video card, on those, such big fan could be benefical but not sure how much

a metal bladed fan that big won't be silent inside that case, it will be as noisy as a psu fan and 2 small fans, the same with the same airflow, maybe a bit better thanks to the case design, or the lack of it

I also like the use of the PVC pipe. I can think of several things I could make with the smaller diameter pipe that would be useful.
