any alternative to Antec spot coolers?
I have used them twice to blow on some thermal problem.
I don't like their method of attaching to one of the mainboard screws. This seems rather rickety if somebody else could move the PC case not knowing what is rigged up inside. Instead I drilled a hole in the bottom or back of the case to attach it. Anyway I was wondering if others make something similar in different sizes. |

Zalman made one, but I don't know if it is still for sale. http://www.bitbenderforums.com/imagi...ges/zalman.jpg This says the bracket portion is discontinued. http://www.xoxide.com/zalman-br123-fanbracket.html That uses the screw heads on the PCI faceplates. It's possible a screwless computer case, wouldn't work with that. Computer cases, don't really offer many options for suspending things inside. You'd think they would make them like Lego, with extra holes here and there for nylon wraps. Paul |

Duct tape!! :-) There also used to be some stuff in the war surplus stores called "200 mph tape" which was a roll of sheet aluminum with adhesive on one side. I imagine that it was used to patch bullet holes in fighter plane fuselages, and it would make nice brackets for PC case interiors. *TimDaniels* |

I use the stuff, though it's both adhesive and electrically conductive on either copper sides, for grounding guitar cavities from stray RF interference. Expensive even on Ebay directly from Singapore. One-sided adhesion aluminum A/C duct tape - got a couple rolls of that out in the garage. As you say, good for lots more stuff. |
