Smoke for testing airflow
Can anyone recommend a product that will generate a controlled amount of visible smoke (not steam as I don't think it would be the safest) in order to test airflow? Similar to what they use in wind tunnels except on a much smaller scale, suitable for testing a case for leaks, proper flow, amount of linger time over components, etc?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Sure thing, it wouldn't be any fun without some images!
I'm afraid that I won't be testing this thing out right away, as the Scythe Ninja rev B I ordered may be problematic with my LGA 775 mobo. (See my other posts from my profile)
Any smoke test should be done with all components installed to get the best idea of where the air is going and where it is not. Until I decide to either keep the ninja rev b or opt for another heatsink the smoke test will have to wait.
The smell of new computer parts in the room is overwhelming enough as it is!
In the meantime, if anyone else has BBQ'ed their PC, we want to see some pics already!
