My cave (as she calls it.. it's actually a palace! Wondrous and spatious, lovingly soothing echoes getting lost in this ole cavernous grandeur! My own nutshell, a cosmos of my own making!) is of very limited space, which is an issue all by itself, but worse still, it's hawt down 'ere, yessir.
Add my current voltages on top of it all, mix them with my current box (why, why did i buy it..) and you know where it's all going, lol
So i started thinking what could i do, and it came to me that one way or another, having the radiator inside the case is an issue (either the air it's blowing inside the case is already warmer because it passed through the rad, or worse, the air it takes so as to cool the rad is warmer than it should be as it's sucked from inside the case).
So i thought that ideally, the rad should be outside the box, sucking air from the room and spitting it back out there, separately, without affecting the ambient case temps at all. Which would also allow for a hell of a lot better ambient temps, as i'd have cool air going in (just fans, no rad) and one measly fan up top and back helping it get back out (physics, hotter goes upwards all by itself).
So when saying "external", i mean more like any configuration where the above is a consideration in the case design. Maybe a box of literally double the width? Like a 'proper' case to the right (mobo and components inside) and its identical twin attached to the left (hence double the width), except it would only serve as space for vertically mounting a rad; the two 'halves' thermally isolated.
(which would also mean i'd no longer have to mount fans on the ceiling, even less dust accumulation)
Does anything like that exist? Haven't found anything, and googleing for 'pc cases external radiators' gives some empty boxes, entirely separate, ugly as #*$& and also problematic, as i'm thinking dust, dust, dust.
All ideas welcome.
(apologies for the wall of text, i wish i could draw what's on my mind. Pigs can also fly)
