Then maybe they wouldn't be forced into the exotic cooling designs which are now being foisted on the world. I like the new case layout of the BTX design, but the necessity for a wind hood over the processor is an abomination.
It is not an abomination, it is good engineering. And the
technical term is plenum, not "wind hood". I saw the same
basic thing in an entry level 64 bit PA-RISC workstation
from HP about four years ago. It allowed HP to avoid using
a noisy CPU fan heatsink. It was nice to have this on your
desk because it was quieter than any contemporary PC.
