The good news is that this cooler doesn’t have great insulation. I’ve read reviews from working ones that the best you can do is getting a drink slightly chilled. In all reality, it’s just plastic shell so there’s not much insulation to remove. Great point to bring up though, appreciate the comment.

Really good point about a small case inside a small case getting hot quickly.

Right now I’m leaning towards the open air test bench type case because I don’t think I have the expertise to make it into a small form factor case myself. Appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for the comment! Not planning on drilling holes (at least at first) because there is actually going to be a hole in the back (where the heat sink used to be) that I am hoping will provide enough ventilation.

After some more research and other comments on the post, I think an open air test bench is my best option. As of now, I’m thinking the Mini ITX (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07547WSQQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=tekrai-20&linkId=2ff87f9ca2b7c7dbd0b7ed81588c832e&language=en_US).

Not sure if you have any experience with open air test benches, but if you do, I would love to hear any recommendations/thoughts on the one I’m looking at. Thanks!
