excellent. thank you for the advice.

Thank you. Basically, if I close my cabinet my compmuter is acceptably quiet but then it doesn't ventilate enough. So I'm adding powered ventilation to my cabinet so I can close the door. But with the holes I expect the computer to not be as quiet. I was hoping that carpet would control the echo eff...

Thank you for the link

I've got a computer cabinet that I'm trying to set up to dampen the sounds my computer makes while providing adequate ventilation. The cabinet is the right 1/3 of my desk, mostly made from particle board. I was thinking about lining the cabinet with some thick carpet and wondered how effective that ...

I never implied it would. I believe I used tho word "adapter"

Thank you much for the link.

There is now a 171x151x51 sunon fan that I'm looking at very hard. I think it just might work out to perfect. Although I'll have to expand the hole I made a little bit.

Now I just have to figure out all the work involved it setting up an AC fan.

Hello, I thought this was in an article on the site somewhere, but now that I need it, I can't find it. Basically, I just finished drilling a 14cm hole in the side of my desk. I've been having to compute with the desk door open, which directs all of my computer noise directly too me. So I put a hole...

I notice the Scythe Ninja is missing from the recommended HS list. Is there something wrong with it after all?

Thank you.

I'm seriously thinking about drilling a hole in the side of my desk and mounting this as an exaust fan. The only thing slowing me down is the lack of news about it. Is it quiet?

Have you verified that the wall outlet is properly grounded? Also check your power strip or battery backup to make sure it is grounded correctly. I've lived in a few homes, even new ones, where the ground wasn't installed properly.

I would also like to hear from anyone that has used this. I bought it for my 5600 fx but xfx put the mounting holes in the wrong place so It wouldn't fit. I just bought an eVGA 6800 GS AGP and am considering hooking it up to that. Has anyone tried it or a fanless cooler with the 6800 GT or 6800 GS? ...

My desk also has a place for a computer box, but after the P133 it was too hot to leave the door closed. I plan on making a hole for a filter in front and another for a 144mm fan on the side. Hopefully 1 144 fan at low rpm will be fine. Inside will be my computer box. I wanted a airfilter with a lip...

Is there such thing as a quiet AC fan? googling quiet fan just points back here. I'll stop in lowes tomarrow, but I don't really have high hopes.

Is your computer in the pool room, or is your house particuarly humid? Personally, I think it is a waste of money. If you have decent airflow then this will hardly make a worthwile difference since the humid air is already in your computer and probably being replaced at a rate faster than the little...

When I was in the navy, I noticed that most of the hard components used metal filters. Not the thin grid patterns sold OTC but about 1 inch thick mesh filters. The tech would clean them and apply a light coat of oil. I don't know how often the metal filters required maintenence but the openings were...

Ak, thank you guys. This whole problem shouldn't even be happening. I bought a kingwin vga heatpipe thinking to replace my fan, but when I took off the old noisy fan, I found that the mounting holes were just slightly off, one 2mm too far to the right, the other 2mm to the bottom. I called kingwin a...

Ok, thank you. Though I did reverse the power leads to a motor once and the motor worked in reverse. I thought the same would apply here.

Hello, Right now I have a slot fan blowing out and a vga fan blowing up. I want to fix the problem of each fan pulling in opposing directions. Can I reverse the leads to one of the fans to make them blow the opposite direction? Since both fans are inside a housing I can not simply turn the fan over....
