Title: Magnetically shielded case fan???
Post by: TeamTEOR on November 28, 2009, 05:05:29 am

Does anyone know where I can find a magnetically shielded case fan? It is awe full hot in that arcade machine of mine. and I'd like to add some cooling to it.  I figured that I would use a hole saw on the top on the cab to cut out a hole for a fan, but I am afraid that a standard 110v fan would send out a magnetic field and make the video shake.

Use a 12v pc fan and you will not have any problems with affecting the video.    I have used 120V fans at the top of a bartop and they did not affect the video but my monitor still had its metal shroud on it.

Ok, will try out some 12v fans up top. I am using an unshielded BilLabs 25 inch monitor, so I think the 120v fan I have is not going to be a good thing above it. I won't need the heat on when the machine is on, that is for sure. It should warm up the room nice.
