ITT Things that make you go huh...wha?
Ok...these things are designed by engineers. I am not an EE but why on earth is every last thing that generates heat on a video card located on what becomes the bottom-side of the card in a tower configuration? Seems to me that heat dissapation would work slightly better and be removed from the chassis if it were placed on the other side of the card...
Yeah, I know next gen designs are supposed to address this...but, seriously, we've been dealing with the ATX design and AGP for the better part of a decade now... |

I have always wondered this myself. Even more so on AGP cards. All motherboards I have ever seen and to my current knowledge have the AGP card on top. This usually means the heat from your video card is being pushed on to the rest of your cards below it. I've seen a few mods that run a "pipe" system to one of your card slot openings. The problem is you lose a PCI slot in the process and I'm not sure how good they work.
