PC FAn for cooling cabinet

Pages: << < (5/5)

Cynicaster:

I put one of these on the angled top/back of my machine.  I extended the wires and spliced them right into the PC power supply.  This thing is very quiet; if it weren't for the blue halo lighting effect it provides on the wall/ceiling behind it, I wouldn't even know it was there.  As for flow, it flows plenty.  You can actually feel the flow going over your hand when using the mouse in the keyboard drawer.

Apparently there are those who think products like this stink but count me as a satisfied customer.

Can you live without a fan?  If you have vents near the top of your cab and vents at the bottom, can you safely just let the warmed air rise and vent the cabinet that way?

Depends on the design of the cab and what's inside.

Hang-On uses a fan but there's heat damage to the acrylic sheet over the monitor. I believe the damage is directly caused by the bezel trapping all of the heat from the monitor.

Of all the commercial cabs I have/had only one was installed with a fan. All had slots at top, some had slots at bottom.
