[CUBE] Chimney in stead of a fan?

[Comerceway at aol.com]

That's a great idea. I think that Apple designed the Cube around that very 
principle - convection cooling. How much more could be gained by an extended 
chimney sounds like a question for the thermodynamicly trained among us. 
(sorry I dropped out of engineering and went into business). Perhaps a 3 Mile 
island cooling tower style plexiglass chimney would do the trick!

  I remember, in the good ol' days of the MacPlus and before, there was a

company that offered a chimney to mount on top of the Mac.

  The idea was to SILENTLY cool the computer with the airflow coming from

from a tall pipe attached to the cooling-grill on top of the computer. This

should create a stream of ascending (warm) air that would drive the whole

thing.

  It looked silly (it was quite tall), but I'd gladly pay that price for

silence1
