Lowering CPU temp another few C

I have been using this ducting for a bit over 5 months (freebie samples). And, I even use it in my latest XP1700+ clocked to 2.18 Ghz with idle 32 and tops 42C. All my P4s' use Stock coolers and the fan duct helps a lot.
Too bad the samples I got were in solid color. I just ordered two more and was told they might have clear ones in a few weeks. I will get the clear for the window case.

It only fits on a square or rectangular cooler. It is not too difficult to make an air duct directly to CPU cooler to suck in cool air from outside the case. All you need are a few plexiglass sheets and some glue and cutting tools. It'll work even better and won't be in the way of air flow from other intake fans.

Or, as easy as turning the A/C in the room/house a few degrees cooler.
