    hehehehehehe


    get yourself one of the metal papst AC fans. Ive got one, got it off ebay. Just wire it into your PSU or attaach a pulg to it. They spin so fast that when you try to shake it when its on it has a gyroscope effect and fights you. But they are LOUD! oh yeah, its blades are cpapble of chopping up unlofded paperclips if you stick them in.

    I really want to try out that 190CFM, 59dB 120mm Delta, but I really don't feel like paying £20 for the privilege :D

    I just put a normal wall plug onto it and run it on my desk to cool me off. I even put a ight switch onto it to turn it on and off :) I'm guessing if you used a pump switch relay like the ones for watercooling you could ahve it turn on and off with your comp. I dunno if your serious or not about these fans, but they are LOUD. Maybe if you modded a dimmer switch for room lights into the fans power lines along with the relay you could have a sort of baybus for it and turn it lower.

    I'll see if i have any of those switches in my house somewhere and see if they quieten these down

    One of the keys to having high air flow is pressure rate of the fan to match the unrestricted air flow.

    I'd suggest a DV4112 diagonal flow type of fan that Papst has just announced. They will drive a full 25mm H2O pressure along with 150CFM of air.

    There is of course a down side to this sort of powerfull fan. A. They draw a lot more power than standard axial fans, in this case a 12v model draws 23 watts, yeah not a typo. B. They also produce around 55dba of noise, which is more than many care for.:waah: :wallbash:

    I have 2 salvage fans from old Oxygen Concentrators (They use them in Hospitals) that are metal, 120mm and 120V... I power them from wires soldered to the input on my PSU thru a relay from the 12V baybus in my pc... The 12V kicks on the 120V relay, and voila, instant major air.
