The black box is a couple of things.
the radiator, the fans, and my shroud made from a 120x38mm fan casing.

Do you know how much electricity it uses? You should put its very own solar panel outside your window to power it up...lol

Very neat wiring job inside the case aspire.
Is that black box at the back a custom mod or is it supposed to be mounted on the case like that? It seems like the wiring to that has no proper home.
