| Here's a little project that I've done. My case supports two psu's, and being that I'm only using one, I figured that I'd put that empty bay to use. The final picture is at the end, in case one doesn't want to look at the mess between. I took the grill of the empty bay, and I tied a fan to it. String was easiest for me. ![]() ![]() Here's the empty bay with the fan installed, showing also the hole that the power cables go through. ![]() Used a three inch duct. Fan was 92mm, and being larger than three inches, I used a piece to open it up to four inches. Taped it up. ![]() Cut the duct to length, and I cut notches in the four inch crossover piece so it would fit around the fan. ![]() The notches created tabs. I bent the tabs around the corners of the fan to hold it in place, instead of trying to bolt/tie the duct down. ![]() Put the duct through the hole that the power cables go through. ![]() And here it is. ![]() (Edit: Everything that was used can be found at Lowe's ^^. Also, if anyone attempts this, be very careful of jagged edges. I taped the ones that caused a threat up.) Last edited by NoctisReitop; August 2nd, 2007 at 23:04. |

| Modder-ator | Is that a Lian Li PC-A10 case? I'm toying with the idea of getting that case and was thinking about doing a very similar mod like this. Nicely done on the duct. does that fan rattle/vibrate at all just being held on by string? |

| Nope. Quiet as the rest of the case. And thanks, I had a lot of fun doing it. It's a silverstone case. I plan to do a review of this case. Last edited by NoctisReitop; August 3rd, 2007 at 05:50. |

| Modder-ator | OOHH, I assume a Silverstone TJ-07 then? Definitely another very nice case, how do you like it? |

| Thanks ^^ Quote:
Here's the fan. The noise for this fan is higher than the rest of the individual fans in my case. If I cover the vent, the noise level goes down. It moves more air though. Last edited by NoctisReitop; August 4th, 2007 at 04:26. | |
