HAHA Sounds AWSOME :-D How are ya going to power it?

ghettocomp · 07-12-05, 09:01 PM

Those things make a lot of noise.

primuslesler · 07-12-05, 09:04 PM

well the power it'll just plug straight into the wall via AC i think or DC iono maybe neither but its just a standard plug and the noise i dont really care man
im in a band and im half deaf so its all good

my pop is getting me a new blade tommorow

Nickds7 · 07-13-05, 01:15 AM

wow those things have some high CFM ratings.. you can destench a bathroom in a few minutes and think of how many cubic feet a bathroom is..

Son1990 · 07-13-05, 09:04 AM

Yummy, big fan cooling.....Pics!!

SniperXX · 07-13-05, 01:12 PM

Hahah sounds pretty ghetto to me. Gonna be loud but I bet it moves alot of air. Even if it was DC it would prolly suck alot of power so its probably a good thing its AC.

four4875 · 07-13-05, 02:20 PM

they're AC, and noisy. if you could get one of a high enough rating, you could probably use a light dimmer for a speed controller. they are noisy, but sometimes have a filter on it. a quick at lowes.com shows that they arent all that much air flow, 130 cfm is the biggest ive seen.

primuslesler · 07-13-05, 07:58 PM

hmm... well still better than a 120 mm

its aleast 4 inches

AlabamaCajun · 07-17-05, 12:30 AM

Buy one of the Lubic kits on wheels and make an airboat case

werdz · 07-17-05, 02:50 AM

LOL I wanna see pics pics pics!! If its at least like the one in my house, its gonna be loud very loud lol

Ciffer · 07-17-05, 05:07 AM

if they aren't pushing much more then 100cfm you might as well get a high output 120 or maybe 150mm if you can find one. those ceiling fans are not designed to be on the side of a computer (obviously). you may run into problems with vibrations shaking components loose, worst thing that will happen is you'll have a big useless hole in your case, sounds like an excuse to intall a window if you ask me. good luck with that anyways.

flamerail · 07-17-05, 11:06 AM

We have this box fan thing.. well its more or less round. 2ft diamater that thing is insanely high cfm, its over 2000, I know that much. It would vent a level 5 bio hazard in 2 minuts LOL!!!!

flamerail · 07-17-05, 11:07 AM

Sorry double post.

Where are the pics!?

Ciffer · 07-17-05, 11:16 AM

level five in 2 minutes? not quite, but that is some crazy airflow, although i think it has been established that using insane airflow (over 1000cfm) is not going to change the temps in a well ventilated case. i had to watch a biohazard video for my job btw.
