too small. Most of the airflow comes from the edges of the fan, which are being blocked i'ld shave another 1 or 3 cm off

I agree with meobius. It needs to be a little bigger in order to push all that air out.

You did a great job! What did you use for tools?

That just goes to show how easy it really is. YAY!

A 3" hole saw should be just about perfect.

Very nice tutorial . . . HEY, they took my tape idea! I started using that whilst cutting oak plywood and moved it into the computer world. Oh well, at least they are sharing it.

High five medtek !!! that looks great, now just get a grill/guard so that no furry little animals or fingers end up in ur computer cooking for dinner :)

JayDubya · Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2004 9:35 pm Post subject:

You could try using mesh for a grill. Its not very strong but it does look very clean when you stretch it tight and screw it down b/n the fan and the case.

quick suggestion, how about using a plastic port used for base speaker and subs, available is many sizes and cost penneys. best bit is the give a nice finish to the outside and havea deep tube that could be used to duct air. They are also gas flowed, so the have an extra advantage - no votex and increased air flow.

Looks great man. Ge yourself a nice looking, strong, fan and put some daimond pattern chicken wire as your grill. It won't affect air flow and you'll get a good view of the fan. Just my suggestion.

Wonder what the CPU would make of charged Ionised air streaming towards it

I know that earth orbit Satalites are not too keen, ever see a solar flare? :)

If you have a MIL spec chip then, it might work, them things are supposed to be safe (er?) against EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse) from nuclear war. Hmmmm, wonder how well a MIL spec chip would overclock? Time to check e-bay I think

*disclaimer, do'nt try this even if you have a MIL chip, it's not a good way to test it*

I love the way things go off topic to even more fun and wonderful things...but whilst nathan is away, lets terrorise this place

When i said the word terrorise in this post, it probably went straight to the CIA and nathans house is prolly being raided right now...and no, MI5 are here...gotta dash
