DIY Raspberry Pi Heat Sinks

Michael Dornisch’s DIY Raspberry Pi Heat Sink.
As seen above, the infrared thermometer shows a temperature of 38.8 degrees Celcius. That’s a difference of 17.3 degrees from the average temperature during network video playback! That much improvement will go a long way towards overall system efficiency and stability. Further implementation can be done with a 5v low profile brushless fan that came from a dead netbook. The fan could be powered directly from the GPIO pins. If it is possible to read core temperature with the SoC, then it could even be possible to utilize the GPIO with the fan in order to have the fan be intelligently controlled based on the SoC temperature, all with a simple python script.

Some feedback on Adafruit Raspberry Pi case, Foster writes in -
I got my case for my Raspberry Pi. And while many people will say “big deal, it’s a plastic box”  I want to say that I was blown away by the engineering detail that went into the case.  From the non-slip fingers to the perfect sized GPIO cable slot to the little spacer under the network connector it was clear that somebody spent some serious time and thought on the design.  I have the beagle board case, but the lack of hardware on the Adafruit case makes it a clear design winner.  Very nice job! Thanks!
Here are some derivatives others have made as well.
