Cooling For Enclosed Alphason Cabinet

[y2k]

Just added a couple of fans to my cabinet because things were getting a bit on the hot side, I will add a few pictures I took mith my phone and add the lnks for the stuff I used.

AC Power Adapter with Molex and SATA Power plugs http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=12007

Sata to molex power adapter for the other fan http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11865

2X akasa 120mm ultra quiet case fans http://www.ebuyer.com/product/97858

Got 2 fan filters from maplin for 120mm for £4:99 but they are not on the website for some reason http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?...source=15&SD=Y

7 piece hole set from argos, I used the second biggest hole with my drill http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...0tools|9554865

And 8 screws from B&Q that are a bit longer than the ones that came with the fan.


The sata and molex lead is handy because it has an on/off switch for each fan/device on the lead. I will post the pictures because I dont think I would need to explain how to do it. I have watched 1 film so far with the fans on and its a lot cooler than it was before when I was just leaving the doors open .


I will add pictures tomorrow if I can because I have just seen the ones I was going to add and they are rubbish.

Cheers for that, I posted here because this is the part of the site that I was searching for some ideas on how to do this this, no wonder I didnt find to many ideas.

Updated the bottom 3 pictures, mabey a mod could move if this is in the wrong part of the site.

Thanks
