would this block too much air?
« on: March 14, 2006, 10:40:43 pm »
I'm thinking of using one of these fan filter things in my micro-cab, to try to hide the exhaust hole. Anyone think it would block too much air? It seems like these filter-type grills are better suited for intake fans, but I'd really like it to work for the blow hole.

Thanks!

I think they would work.  It would be worth a try for 1.95.

They will block air.. anything that covers the fan in any way blocks air..

Enough to cause a super huge difference? nah..

If your really worried, toss in 1 extra fan just to be sure..


And remember.. 2 exhaust for every 1 intake  :P

My Lian Li computer case has a 120mm fan exhaust rear with one of those grilles. Let me just say that removing was the 1st thing I did.
Think about blowing into a screen vs not.
