Demont said:I cut open a power cord to see what was inside and i saw three wires... First question...which one is the ground? Second, could you cut one of these cords and cut the cord on say...a small house fan... and wire them together?
Demont said:also roger, you have any tips for unlocking the xp and also cooling when done?
Demont said:well i guess i can explain my idea...i have a small house fan that pumps a lotta air...and it would be just small enuff to get in my case, instead of messing with the p/s i figured i could just run two cords out the back of my comp, one would be one of those power cords where you can plug in a second cord on top, usually used for monitor. the fan cords too short, and for the sake of being uniform/having fun i wanted to see if i could rig up a computer power cord to the fan....ok?
I do have a multimeter, so i should be able to use that figure out what goes where...

Just remember that the fan is not shielded, and will create a large electro-magnetic field. This may permantely damage your HDDs if it's too close to them.
