Ali, Re: "Cardboard air ducts, convoluted air flow, unfit heat sinks... This looks more like a joke ..." Hmmmmm .... Not good, IMHO. Make It So, Yousef

Ali, many servers use flow directors made of fiberboard(called cardboard incorrectly in the other) in addition air is infinitely malleable and can be readily directed as a cooling fluid by such ducting. Take a look at a few low profile servers. I think some also use styrofoam flow directors. Nothing wrong with this at all. The use of fiberboard or styrofoam will save money for a part that needs little structural strength. Just what is needed for a competitive market place. Bill
