I believe I now qualify since I bought the router I modded for a friend off of him (he just bought a DGL-4500)

If you want to join post in the thread with a pic of your modded out modem/router, and the type of modem/router you have. You will be added within 7 days to the list below.

*Please DO NOT post a mod that is not yours!
*Please DO NOT post an untangle router (sorry DuckieHo)
I call bias.

How does a actively cooled custom router not qualify?

The OP even mentions boring routers... your off-the-shelf routers are just boring Linux machines.
Once again...

I just feel like the point is to mod a stok off the shelf router. not build your own. but for the commitment, I could bend the rules for you.

I am really enjoyed reading this thread. I always wondered why manufacturers don't do this already. My modems and routers have always ran so hot. I have been setting them on aluminum sheets for a couple years which helps some, but I think I'll look into some very low budget small RAM heatsinks and fan mod for them.
