InvaderTrax Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 This is my first attempt at a mod. I think it turned out great. Brought my CPU temp down 3 degrees C and my motherboard temp down 4. What do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Great job, how did you cut the hole? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Well, after a lot of measuring, and double checking, I used a 3 inch hole saw. That would have given me enough space for the fan blades and a regular wire grill. However, since I went for a wider grill and LED fan, I wanted to expand the whole so no beige showed through. So, I dug out the old grinding wheel for my 3/8 drill. After grinding out, I used a few different grade files to smooth out the rough edges. And, after 2 hours of aching wrist and a minor hand-to-grinder injury, I had a great looking, and fully functional door fan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvaderTrax Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Yeah. It looks like by adding the fan, I lost the space to put in a window. Oh well, I'd rather be cool than clear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
