Arcade In A Box review - bandwidth warning, many pix
ArcadEd:
I appreciate the input SirPoonga, and no prototype was done years ago.

First, I'm just making my observtion based on the articles form AMD and the overclocker community that has tried them out.

Which isn't really needed as the air has to come from somewhere. If oyu made that a left fan just a vent...
--- Quote ---I'd like to go with one fan if it worked. Problem is most cases, the Power Supply exhaust sticks out the back of the case blowing the heat out. In this case, the PS is inside the case with no place for the heat to go. If that makes sense.

To sum up the amd articles you want negative pressure in the case, meaning you want more fans to push air out than in. If you only have the case fan going out (which you'd need two probably for this application) the air has no choice but to move form left to right, meaning the warm air form the ps inside the case isn't going to make it over to the motherboard.
This does create a question, why didn't you flush mount the psu like the cd drive then? It would save on a fan.
Again, I'm no expert. Just observations from reading colling articles (as I am trying to make my home computer as quiet and cool as possible).

Hello,
I went to the website http://www.arcadeinabox.com and a blank screen with the words "Arcade in a Box" cane up. Is the site down temporarily?
