nice tip, Nerotek!
If you get the snack size, no cutting required! Original size, and you can make a few ducts!

LOL! I recently had a sword post-ordered to my place (don't ask!), it came in a tube which fits *perfectly* for 120mm fans

What, in particular, are we using a straight fan-duct for? Aren't fan ducts usually used to redirect airflow? If you've got some good applications, please let me know. Cool hack, though!

since the sk7 (best to) sucks air, im planning to duct a hole straight to the cpu... so it will have fresh cool air... hopefully i can overclock better with this setup...
also some people might create a duct to exhaust the hot air from the cpu straight out of their system...

yea im gonna do that with my next system, have a 3 liter bottle mounted on the 120mm exhaust fan in the back and the duct will reach over and catch the heat coming from the cpu.

I guess I'm just not inventive enough, I used HVAC ducting for my computer.
