Nice Andy !! Keep them pix coming....
What can we expect in the way of cooling ??? Or is that a secret for the moment ?

[Andy]

1x12cm 40db 85cfm - probably going to be running at 5 volts
1x8cm generic so no ratings :\

[FLaCo]

Neat idea...whats the occasion...just bored?

[Andy]

a mixture of school holidays, boredom, wanting to get some more seti WUs going ;) and wanting to make use of spare yet reasonable up to date parts... :)

Looking good.
I might just have to come up with some crazy mod myself, as you and amd_man have put me in a modding mood.
