^ Indeed Adam!

beachbum86 (Adam) and I hammered out ideas last night to give PRT a Silver carbon fiber shell. Adam will tackle fabricating top & side panels, radiator shrouds and false floor above PSU from carbon fiber. The top panel will be vented over the dual radiator. Something three dimensional, imagine a backward air scoop, but with louvered vents ..possibly.

Adam will oversee my progress in building the front bezel here in MN from the same Silver carbon fiber.

As soon as I can draw up sketchs for the vented top panel, I'll post them in the worklog.

I hate to throw a wrench in this, but has anybody donated/bought the server side's CPU yet? I see you're considering a 775 1U board... I may be able to donate a 3.0 Ghz. socket 427. Does a donation have to be new?

There is actually an industrial grade version of that in a 6K twill or harness satin on the market (on allocation of course) that's used as a surface layer in heightened radiant heat environments.

I believe you mean socket 478. This is a socket LGA 775.

Thanks for the offer FunkyStickman, but I should have a new Prescott 3.2 GHz 800MHz LGA775 here we can use from another project.
