Implosion of the case?

What happens if I close all the point of entering of the air in my
case? Does air still enter through the point of exit of the fans? Or
does it implode?
Thanks

Unless you shrink wrap it, you'll not achieve your aim.

It won't implode but, you will eventually burn it out from, it overheating.

Neither. Thermal damage from overheating of mainboard and video card and
possibly cpu and hard drive is most likely result. In other words, while it
won't implode, you should only do this if you REALLY hate your computer.

It depends on how strong the fan is. I'm guessing that if you hooked up something typically used to ventilate a large office
building and increase the voltage by a factor of 2 or 3 you could make a thin case colapse.

....hope that helps. When you try this, please post some video.

No, I didn't do this: I wrapped almost all points of enter for air
with scotch, but a few remanins (the point of contact between the
lateral window of the case and the rest of the case, and maybe
something on the bottom of the case, plus the some small holes not
covered...). I costantly watch the CPU, HD and MB temperature, and if
something should start going wrong, I would switch everything off...
 
Is there something in particular you're trying to accomplish?

Yes: let as few dust as possible enter my case, by tapping almost all
the point of entering of air, and cover the remaining few with an
anti-dust filter...

Have you considered water-cooling? Won't eliminate fans completely, but if
your video processor, CPU, northbridge and hard drives are water-cooled, you
can run that rig using an ultra-quiet PSU as the only cooling fan. -Dave
