Too damn small dumbass. Why the hell would it work? That is what Einstein would ask if he were alive. [This message has been edited by BiOPSY (edited 03-18-2006).] |

You obviously don't know what you're doing, and there will be no benefit to doing, so I suggest you stop. Buy a case with a fan next time. If you really want to do it, use a dremel or similar tool to cut an adequate hole in the case for the fan, and make sure the air flow pulls air OUT of the case, or you will just be dumping dust into your box. |

Re: hacking' a computer fan
You fuckers are on crack.
A cpu fan is much smaller than a case fan not just in diameter but in fin size.

No. A larger fan can run at slower RPMS and move just as much air as a smaller fan running at higher RPMS. BiOPSY, the question was "Will it work?" not "Is it a good idea?" |
