That grill measures 85mmx135mm.
I've tried to get two 80mm fans there, side-by-side, with the frames in diagonal, but couldn't manage to get the screw holes right.

ah buggar then :banghead:

DDD, pls.

hurr de derp in diagonal? you mean with the blade circles diagonally? nice.

get some sticky foam tape. works wonders. a must have for all ghetto modders

_JP_ · Sep 6, 2013

Like this, DDD.

de.das.dude · Sep 6, 2013

i know thats what i meant. use sticky tape on the corners.

and in the centres if you are using them as exhaust.

_JP_ · Sep 6, 2013

Sorry, thought you meant diagonally in relation to the vent.
Originally I thought about using plain double-sided tape for the corners that were outside the grill. But that would ruin the pantyhose filter if any post-installation adjustments or replacements were to be made.
The idea is to install them as intake. Well, the one installed is as intake.

Exactly

And then to think that 1 eurocent coins are going to be out of rotation, if certain EMU member nations get what they want. While they clearly have shown their use right now.

_JP_ · Sep 9, 2013

So what?
Use 2 eurocent or 5 eurocent coins.
Bigger diameter == more dissipation, while still costing less than actual heatsinks.
Plus, you can stack them for MOAR HEAT DISSIPATION.

Peter1986C · Sep 9, 2013

I was not serious, JP.

_JP_ · Sep 9, 2013

Oh.
But yeah, I also heard about something like that.
But in the likes of ending with the -.99€ crap.

>Something costs 499.99€.
>Give 500€ bill.
>"I'm sorry, I don't have small change in the register."
>"Th-that's ok." -_-''

that tray? so far its pretty solid
it just hold 2 HDD, if more i consider add some plastic to reinforce that :toast:

he used the plastic off a 3 faced edge so not much.

micropage7 · Oct 19, 2013

i just add plastic cover to prevent much dust entering the case, by using plastic and some clear tape

droopyRO · Oct 19, 2013

An old photo i dug up from around 2007, the HDD vibrations were bad i suppose, i dont really rememeber

so its for vibration dampening?
and tell me did it work well?

IIRC it did, the HDD was suspended on those rubber bands, i got a P180 after that that had rubber mounts for the HDD tray.

I want to join on the convo! :3

I got a 9800Gt From my friend and I wanted to use it.. but my pc was a thin dell optiplex and when I put the card in I had to move the hard drive and it also stuck out of the case. The psu was 280w as well which wasn't enough.

I found the cardboard box that the sky box came in from my garage and cut it up to the same height and thickness of the dell case. I took the side door off the case and used a hell of a lot of selotape and joined them together. I then had a full size power supply stuffed loose in there as well as the hard drive loosly hanging lol. It worked but my mum seemed to think it was going to set on fire and told me to take it apart xD
