Aah yes, the old "under-utilized engineer" syndrome: if you don't give them problems to solve, they start making up their own.

I had also played with some ideas for a new plenum involving 6" aluminum tubing and some CNC'd flanges, but I seem to have lost a large amount of the files when I uninstalled AutoCAD. If you're going to be doing the CAD work yourself and you want some flow analysis, I have access to ANSYS at school and SolidWorks Flowxpres at work.
