that's crazy..but sad to say, ive done similar. I screwed a boxfan onto the side of an old case i had once..worked ok, but didnt really provide a nice drop in temps. besides, im getting to the point where air cooling is beneath me. Im going to PELTIERS!!

"Would you like a CPU with that condensation??"
knowing my luck that's what will happen.

I did similar but had window box fan sucking not blowing and it works (not screwed on though)

I have to admit that huge aluminum fan and PVC tubing case looks cool! I would have made it with aluminum tubing though

I'm over clocked a little and with this new case (http://www.techzonez.com/forums/showpost.php?p=97950&postcount=12) with 2 low rpm 120mm fans - is very quiet. I have my CPU fan turned down as low as it will go and my temps are:
