um... im looking to buy 2 90 millimeter blue led fans with like 90x90x25 sizing. These arnt the same as 92mm ones right? I cant find any 90mm led fans. I also cant find an aluminum filter for this size or a fan grill (I want a laser cut one.) any help or links would be appreciated. If i was to just buy the 92mm ones could i use some good old fashion puzzle tecnhiques to make it fit (mental image of slamming pieces where they dont fit lol) or will it fit anyways?

these are the only 90mm fans i could find, and they come with an 80mm to 90mm adapter
and a pretty cool grill
if you are replacing standard type fans, they are probably 92mm!

I thought that they should be 92 as well but Thermaltake says 90.
Im going to shut down and actually look at them. In the meantime though do u know if say a 92 mm fan grill and filter and fan would fit... its only 2 mm right?

ummmm...I think they are 90mm...but if you use the adapter you could use an 80mm grill,
but I think that would only work as an exaust, perhaps a top blowhole!

oh...I see what you're talking about...I think those case fans on the LanFire case look pretty standard to me! you should be able to get grills for those

90mm is a leftover from the pre-metric days. it's the U.S.'s 3 5/8" hole center design.
They should be for all practical purposes, interchangable.

by the way, im also looking to get some sleeving for my PSU, preferably a UV blue so i can then buy a dual 12" cold cathode! for more flashyness. any suggestions on good brand or preferences?

Ham_fisT · Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 4:18 pm Post subject:

frozencpu.com has a great selection!

they also have ccfl kits on sale right now, $5.99 for a dual 12" kit!

I just sleeved my entire case, and it took about 5 ft of 1/2", 20 Ft of 1/4", and 15 ft of 1/8",

but I have a lot of extra cables from the chaintech front panel drive unit.
Use a hair-drier to shrink the heat-shrink, NOT a lighter!

how much are they normally?

smith.p.sean · Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 4:39 pm Post subject:

and also what measurement do they come in as in length wise, it states the width on Frozen CPU but there isnt any length? I need to know so i can order the right amount.

Ham_fisT · Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 4:51 pm Post subject:

i think they were $24.99, but not sure

they are about 12 1/4 " in length, and come with a pci slot-cover mounted switch! very nice construction, I got the Dual UV set, and it lights up my sleeving nicely, (UV Green)

sry to keep asking so many questions so this is the last one I promise lol. The heat shrink, do i buy the same size as the sleeve that im putting it on or one size up so that it can fit over it. ?

Ham_fisT · Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 6:27 pm Post subject:

I bought a foot of 1", 2 foot of 1/2", and 5 foot of 1/4", you will have extra, but it's cheap!

what size you need for each wire bundle is trial and error, but mostly, its symetrical,(1/4" heat shrink on 1/4" sleeve).

(ask all the questions you have, no problem) :^)

oh yeah.. I took apart an old radio antenna, the telescoping kind, and found two pieces that work well for removing Molex pins, (Beats buying one for 10 bux)

have fun!

yes Frozencpu.com is a great place for all that kind of stuff. And they have a very cool selection of psu's. It seems like they have some of the best quality psu's out there. The only down side is they are rather expensive. But for watercooling and other cooling supplies they are great.

that... or everything in his house will soon have a pretty UV reactive blue sleeving, including the dog's tail, the toaster, all the lamps, stereo gear, televisions, etc...

finally he runs out of sleeving, completely forgetting to sleeve his computer!

so..back to frozencpu.com for 200 yds more!!!!
