rofl its the most leet tin box ever let me paint a pic in ur mind of the gfx card setup....

The gfx card sits horizontally as normal... now for the cool part.

I am currently using an ati 9550 so there isnt a fan on the gpu's heatsink and mem has no means of cooling either. So i decided to do some renovating...

I pulled two fans off another old pc's case the first fan sits ontop of a tupperware container, which is ontop of a wow box. This cools the gpu which is on the bottom side of the card.

The second fan was then put in a plasic party cup and layed on the side of the gfx card cooling the memory which is on the top of the card.

So as you can tell its a pretty epic rig ^^
