in all seriousness, GTR hood vents arent a bad idea. theres some evidence on the boards that venting does indeed help alot, but computer fans would be a terrible choice. you'd blow a fuse instantly. our cars usually run around 14V when the engine is running, and itd probably blow the fan. also...they are not waterproof.
