This is probably the... Weirdest case... . A case that IS a heatsink. If you want one of this, well... Think again.
Ha for that much you might as well buy a full size fridge... modern ones are silent when the compressor isn't running, and you could store your soft drinks in there too..
The costs aren't that weird looking at the fact that we're actually talking about a friggin Zalman here....
i'll take a few dB of noise and save $1000. An interesting concept though and i was thinking about doing it with my current case but decided not to.
Who in their right mind would pay USD$1,353.95 for a freaking case... Then I'd MUCH rather spend my money on a VapoChill system instead...
I remeber all thos years ago when i first heard about lian lis i thought "who'd spend £120 on a freaking case!" now im sat here with my PC-60 next to me...
yeah right, like you would be able to passively cool the entire system... I didn't think so either...
I have never done a single mod in my entire life and I don't intend on starting to make the effort now *n PS: I know that I'm a super-mod on a modding site but...nyeh!
Yeah, its not a repost. Zalman announced it a while back, here it is. penski the moderator, not the modder . How about this, if I do a mod, you do a mod, fair?
Well... thats actually difficult to reproduce that case... thats because it uses the exterior alu to dissipate heat from the components... but how does heat goes from the components to the case? HEATPIPES!!! Now explain me how u do home made heatpipes...
It's been done. But home made ones are crap (well, nowhere near as good as manufactured pipes) and the only other option is to scavenge heatpipes from existing products and commercial samples. http://www.benchtest.com/ Check out the left hand column.
dont heatpipes have a special chemical or something that transfers heat from hot to cold? so true homemade heatpipes wouldnt work that well, like at all
The home-made ones use that special chemical [ or a variant there of ]. I mean, they're not THAT stupid The reason the home made ones don't work as well is that the mixture isn't precise, nor are the same manufacturing methods used. [ or so I'd like to think ]
Simple. A 'proper' heatpipe (IIRC) uses a vacuum. I'd imagine multi-million $:$ fabrication plants have better equiped vacuum creation facilities than you or I faffin on the kitchen table The vacuum and 'working fluid' (as it's called) is also a finely tuned balance depending on the pipe spec.
