That post made me lolz :roll:

surprising how a cardboard box has better cable management than some of the cases on the case mod page

External HDD enclosure made out of a tissue box and cardboard from the previous ghetto HDD enclosure I had. I find this one quite an improvement over the other one (of which I don't have pictures). On the first pic you can see the cardboard & tape height increaser (to allow air to pass underneath). The fan is an exhaust fan, BTW and not an intake one.

Irony · Nov 14, 2012

I like that it has a grill on the fan. The cardboard cases seem so fitting somehow; like not out of place at all. Maybe its just me lol

Peter1986C · Nov 14, 2012

Thanks Irony. Cardboard is a great material IMO and really underappreciated.

micropage7 · Nov 14, 2012

i just found something from the net
i dunno its creative, stupid, ghetto or what

got apple?

Irony · Nov 14, 2012

See if apple can sue THAT for patent infringement!

my Audigy Value with ghetto HSF, using old HSF from PSU
works pretty good :rockout:

Athlonite · Nov 18, 2012

I would have thought an HS from a mobo chipset would have been a better choice / fit but hey if it works right who cares

yeah but basically they have the same function, chipset heatsink would be clean than this one

yeah but it works well

james888 said:

actually that chip isnt too hot, but i have unused heatsink why dont give it extra cooling. its kinda nice solution to have better cooling with some effort :roll:

micropage7 · Nov 18, 2012

another ghetto, but not related to pc
this is my ghetto blitz diffuser, actually the blitz is ok for mid range but when the object closer like under 2m it would over exposure. so i decided add some plastic and tied it

Irony · Nov 20, 2012

Hmm, if we go into non pc ghetto; I should find a picture of my 89 honda accord lawn mower. Im not sure I got any pics of it before I took the deck off tho. Still awesome without any doors or hood

stone? of course :roll:

Probably to keep pressure between the cooler and the CPU.
