The Lambda Core - A Case Like No Other

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO JUMPED THE GUN SAYING WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WITH COOLING THIS MASSIVE CASE I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU:

"THINK FAST ______ ___ YOUR POST NOW COMES IN IRRELEVANT"!

For one, try not to be such a turd.

Secondly, there are a few flaws with your design, but they're probably not going to be crippling though. Those PVC pipes are kind of small in diameter. If you plan to push air through them, you'll want fans with a bit of oomph. Not to mention that running them through pipes is a bit redundant. To be truthful, it would make better sense to just leave out that partition and put fans on each end. The complication of the pipes might be a hindrance in this case.

Also, I'm concerned about heat in the case. While I'm not concerned about the components in general being damaged from heat, I am concerned about the processor if you plan to use a stock heatsink. And you probably do, based on how thin the case is. In my experience, stock processors with stock heatsinks hit the sweet spot in a normal case. Under full load, I've seen them get around 50 C. Something like that. This one is going to have less airflow, and the wood is an insulator on top of that. So the rest of the system may not necessarily be in danger, but I fear the processor may. My recommendation is to find an aftermarket cooler that will fit in the case, or water cool it.

Of course, I could be overreacting.
