[Klug-general] Custom ATX sized heatsink

[Alex Layfield]

Hacksaws generally make things smaller in my experience :-)

I should've explained what I am trying to do.

Passive cooling of an ATX Core2Duo E5400 with G41 chipset & onboard GPU.

E5400 = 65W max TPD

PicoPSU 120W

2x 2.5" SATA HDDs

Mobo TPD depends on what's being used.
Intel DG41TY

MTBF of components is rated @ 55degC so need to be within that bracket.

Want case to be minimally sized (1U too) & incorporate heatsink. Like a Car PC/Amp.

Heatpipes may be the way but trying to keep costs low.

Aluminum CPU heatsink + hacksaw works quite well :-)
