Post Subject: A case made out of fans?
Posted on: Dec 10, 2007

I was bored today...

I was looking through freeafterrebate.info and I saw a deal for 80mm red case fans for 1 cent each and if you order more that $20 dollars worth of merchandise from this site you get free shipping. So...

I was thinking it might be very cool (Pun intended) to build a case out of fans. I would find some way to make an grid as a base and have it have 80mm square holes and be able to attach case fans at each point.

The link for the fans is here: http://www.eaglebit......uctCode=EB-200-00117
(There are 123 in stock)

(Just a random thing, it could be really cool to do the same thing for our CD contest using CDs, but dang it would be hard)

What do you think?

It would be pretty sweet if you managed to control the airflow...but....anyone though of noise levels? you might need some fan control...10 fan control panels...i like leaving three dots....everywhere...haha...
