I'm going to be putting together a watercooled system soon. I have a Black Ice Extreme Rad. and a 120mm fan. I'm looking for something to extend the fan so it's not right next to the rad. I've read that it makes for a quieter setup that way.
any ideas on materials to use? I walked aimlessy around home depot today but nothing jumped out at me :D

are you looking to extend the fan with a homemade piece or are you looking to buy something
www.pcmods.com has some fan ducts, but it may cover up some of the rad'

well, I'm looking to extend the fan about 2" from the rad. just a straight extension, w/ no angles. The fan and rad opening are the same size. I was thinking about cardboard but I would like something more insulative to keep the wind noise down.
thnx for the links tho
