My first case mod ever, and I am hooked! heh, I have this 253 cfm fan and I had been trying to strap it to my DD cooling cube. I hunted around Lowe's and found this duct that went from 6" dia. to about 6" square. It was almost what I need, so I had to mod it (joy
!! heh).
After I had the square end the same size as my DD cube, it was time to cut me a hole in the back of my case. I didn't have any power tool to cut my case (college budget here ), so I had to use a hack saw. Boy was that fun, NOT!! hehe
Anyway, once I had mounted my duct on my case it was time to figure out how to mount the fan on it. TAPE anyone?? Tape and lots of it was the only way I found to mount this monster fan on my duct. As you can hopefully see by my pics I managed to put some insulation on the sharp edges of the duct.
I used a 7V, 12V, system which really made the fan stealth like at 7V. The 12V mode is a bit jet like, but who cares when you have UT screaming "Double Kill!!"?
