Im gonna have to pass on that case fan...

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Postby brownbox » Mon Jan 08, 2007 10:28 pm

I found an old case fan in the shed today (yes theres heaps of old junk in the shed), and I thought, "hey, what could an extra fan hurt in my computer?". So I plugged it in, turned it on, and it worked like a dream. I could actually feel the air coming out of it from about 40cm away, and it was very quiet. Then, all of a sudden, a plastic blade came off the fan, and embedded itself into the side of a cardboard box :o

maybe I wont put this one in my computer :thumbup:

for your own safety, don't install anything else into your computer from your shed.
