You laugh. For a while I had a 300MB (OMG!) Fujitsu SCSI drive that needed a fan to keep it operating. I ended up taking the side of the case off and using a box fan (You know, a 2 foot fan).

Anywhoo....

Russ, do you realize that I once chopped a 10" box fan into the side of Bubbles? :|

I ain't laughing, I meant it.

That guy says he works in a computer store... Seems to me he has too much free time on his hands!

Besides, he got it all wrong... Every one of those fans seems to be turned to blow air INTO the "case", which means static overpressure on the inside and not much air moving. The fans would speed up too and make (even more) noise...

wouldnt the emf from that fan kill ur pc?

personally wouldnt want to take the risk.

From his very clear writings, left side blows in, right side sucks out, front and back blow in, top blows in, bottom sucks out.

No problems.
