How about a wind tunnel for you folding rigs,, just thought I'd share this story "amazing, lol"..

Inlet Air Speed- 0.6 MPH or .88 ft/s (Measured at inlet grill)
Exhaust Air Speed- 1.4 MPH or 2.05 ft/s (Measured at exhaust opening)
Fan Output Air Speed- 5.0 MPH or 7.33 ft/s (Measured free standing, no tunnel)
Contraction Section (Without Computer) Air Speed- 12 MPH or 17.6 ft/s (Unobstructed flow- Empty Test Section)
Contraction Section (With Computer) Air Speed- 9 MPH or 13.2 ft/s (Obstructed Airflow)
CFM (Cubic Feet Minute)- 1200 CFM

Lmfao this is epic, would be loud though O_o'

And am I the only one thinking that the cooling might actually be better without the fans on the compononents, and instead just using heatsink only?
 
Takes to much space, but cool never the less.......
Yea i think those fans are kinda useless on it, don't know the flow of that tunnel though...

Thanks for posting FTLN keeps the F@H section more alive :cool:
