It is easier than you think to make a hole like that.
Just be careful to not hit any power lines and to seal
it *very* well so you don't have moist air leaking into
the wall where it will condense on the insulation.
However, consider something else I'd like to try some day:
Use a water cooling kit but put the radiator outside. That
way you would only need two 10 mm holes for the coolant
hoses plus another small hole to provide power to fans
on the radiator during the warm weather. (Alternatively,
just move the radiator into the house for the summer.)
I'd probably add some desiccant packs (big ones) to the bottom and top
of the inside of the case to help keep moisture at a minimum, not sure
how much they'd really last or help though with constant moving air.
What sort of system do you have,
Its not mine. It belongs to a friend who does semi-pro
video editting. I just get to play around with it and
do weird experiments like this one.
I built the system for him, so I know ever little thing
inside it. It is based on the Tyan S2885, with two Opty
248's, 8 GB of PC3200, six 200 GB SATA drives, a DVD burner,
and a Radeon 9800 Pro.
He recently upgraded from Opty 240's so now I've got
his old processors as the first step towards building
my own Opty dualie.
you doing some massive over clocking or
just going for max cool and quite?
Just cool and quiet. The motherboard has no real
overclocking options.
