[-=HN=- Wild9]

[-=HN=- Wild9]

ok all the pics are too big, brb with them i have to adjust their size.

[-=HN=- Wild9]

ok here is the first pic, if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask.

[-=HN=- Wild9]

the hole in the side of the case i cut

[-=HN=- Wild9]

weather stripping makes a good seal for what im doing.

[-=HN=- Wild9]

this is the fan mounted to the side of the case panel, i used pop rivets to secure it, plus they look nice and there is the weather stripping coming in handy too

[-=HN=- Wild9]

this is the other side of the fan

[-=HN=- Wild9]

a nice view of caulking that i used to seal it up nice around the panel.

[-=HN=- Wild9]

my gutted case

[-=HN=- Wild9]

this is where i drilled a hole to run a power cord to the fan, i used a rubber grommmet to make a nice seal around the cord.

[-=HN=- Wild9]

my fan and case back together almost and ready to be plugged in.

[-=HN=- Wild9]

and this is the finished product. :) yes it is an intake fan

[Oni]

thats kinda cool. Cyrix III? I didn't even know that Cyrix still made Processors.

[Crazy Jayhawk]

Nice work. Might want to put some kind of grille on the end to keep stuff from hitting the fan.

I doubt I'd do something like that - I'd probably damage it by bumping it into something. :p

[-=HN=- Wild9]

well i started the whole thing at 6 in the evening, i had to make a trip to lowes to get electrical tape cause i forgot to get it and then to wally world to get some caulking, well after 2 pots of coffe and 7 hours later i was done with it and fell asleep only to be woked up at 6 this morning with a terrible pain in my stomach, relieved myself and passed out again on my bed to wake up at noon :)

[-=HN=- Wild9]

when i turn my comp off and plug in that fan there is air being pushed out of every hole in my case. do you think that is just a little too much ???

[UnseenMenace]

what kind of tempratures are you getting ?

[-=HN=- Wild9]

i dont really know, i dont have a thermometer to test, but ill get one probably in the next few days and do a test

[*JEREMY*]

Will it dry your laundry?lol Slap a grill on the end of that baby.Looks nice with the good caulking job.

[fuzzba11]

What fan is that?? Sweet addition to the other mods, I agree...but Cyrix??! ;)

[CrystalMethod]

That red screw-driver looks awful familiar...
...almost a "Snap-On" red...
Nice mod, man! Glad to see someone who can avoid the AMD vs. Intel flame war we see going on here so often. Makes me want to go out nad get a cyrix myself.

it is an inline air duct fan that i got at the home depot

[!-=sky=-!]

hey!

i HAD that table u put your comp on

with the exact same chairs too

but that was before i move to hong kong from my house in canada

[Mr.Lansing]

UMMMMM
nice mod!

[!!tio!!]

Which one.... the dining table or the desk?

And How do u cut holes? (in case + Glass)

How do u drill holes in glass?

[-=HN=- Wild9]

i use tin snips to cut the holes in my case
but alot of people use dremels,
as for glass well i would not have a clue as to how to cut it or pounch a hole in it,
oh yeah you can use a drill to drill a hole in your case, but make sure you take everything out of the case first.

[cool_hand_joe13]

Did that fan pay off?

[-=HN=- Wild9]

for my new celeron i got yeah, i just plug that puppy in and everything in the case stays pretty kewl, still working on a probe to take temps with though.
i dont really hear my fans in my case anymore, kinda blended into the background noise, like a window unit.

[KeyboardCowboy]

very nice, how many cfm's is it???

[-=HN=- Wild9]

250 cfm

[tbirdkiri]

doesnt electromagnetic interference ever come to mind?????
ok well i might want to shield it some how cause that can ruin many components

[cool_hand_joe13]

:D nope they caues no problem at all, Irun them all the time.

[-=HN=- Wild9]

before i even started cutting holes inm my case i wired the big ole fan up and had a diskette full of data that i put right next to the motor, i let it sit there an run for about 30 mins, came back and checked the disk, no data was lost so it was all good.

[tbirdkiri]

good move! definetly pays to check.
nothing like a 400gb array of ibm's and your raid controller eating it.
i wish i had a 400gb array....... mmmmmmmm

[WillysNut]

Nice job man...I like the clear style fan blades.

[Wiseass]

As for the hole cutting, I purchases a 92mm blowhole kit from here (http://www.caseetc.com/cgi-bin/caseetc/scan/sf=display/se=yes/se=Tools%20and%20Bits/sf=category/ml=15/tf=sku.html?id=oDMeobGM). Comes with the bit, hole cutter and all else. Used it to cut the holes in my case and the lexan for the window. You can probably find one at Lowes or Menards or wherever.

Like the fan mod, but dang, I don't have the room for something like that :p
