Cooling with Car Parts !!!

Post by JEN » Fri May 23, 2003 3:10 pm

My dad had the car bonnet opened a few days ago. As I walked past it, I noticed all these pipes in there, and thought, I could use 1 of them in the PC :)

Unlike the badong pipe, which I think would produce turbulance noise, these car pipes are smooth, yet flexible!

I might be going to the local car parts shop to have a look around soon :D

just be careful not to short anything out, as metal is conductive. Cardbord/ Plastic/Posterboard reinforced with ducttape still seems like a good option to me. Although It will look more ghetto unless carefully planned out.

Its a clear flexible plastic hose used to collect dust in a woodshop. I dont know much about it except that it would look kinda cool used in a pc :)

These are only car parts in the sense that sometimes there's one in the low-freq speaker box http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm ... D=143&SO=2
