    Looks nice, could help to cool down the equipment - when the air flow isn't disturbed by the device(push cool air in device)

    It's an interesting idea if you don't need the bay for a drive. Lenovo do something similar with the Y500. You can put an optical drive, another GPU in SLI or a fan module in the ultrabay. Problem with that is if you do have the second GPU in there, that would be when the extra cooling would be of most benefit, and you can't have both.
    If you do give it a go, let us know how well it works.

    if you have a clevo with the bay on the right... not sure if it would be comfortable when the hot air blows to your hand

    Yes, that would make more sense. Normally the air is sucked in the base and blown out the back through the heatsink thereby cooling the heatsink. Having it blow out the side would decrease the volume of air cooling the heatsink.

    Now if it had an adjustable heatpipe that you could route through to a heatsink to make contact it would be interesting, but otherwise it's doing nothing but getting in the way.

    Which have no impact on high end machines unless you do some serious modifications.
