seems like it would be too much clutter.

something like this might be more feasible with a smaller tube and fan (80mm?) mounted on the side of the case (there is that side intake hole on the door of the 900)

sounds more like an electric supercharger.. and any car nuts here will tell you that that's just a BAD IDEA.
