Custom heatpipe/radiator?

Post by mudboy » Sat Jan 04, 2003 7:34 am

Has anyone ever built their own heatpipe/radiator or know of a place that will fabricate one to spec? I am using a Palo Alto PA-450 MicroATX case, which I love, but the CPU cooling layout is less than ideal (HS directly beneath/beside power supply) and it limits my CPU HS/F choices. I modded the rear of the case to take a 92mm fan and it's less than 6" from the CPU, so putting a heatpipe CPU cooler in there would be an option if I could just find one that would fit.

Thanks

Pete
