minor fan mod

i added a fan today in one of the expansion slots, the glue didnt work out so well when the tower was standing, so i just used some regular old tape and it did the trick

You should use mounting tape instead.

dun got ne, but it works fine, just twisted the metal slot straight and glued and taped it on and it works fine.

Too sloppy for my likings. But, if it get's the job done, hey.

Use JBweld if you're going to do it that way.

Or, use zipties. It won't be very pretty if that falls off and eats a capacitor or something.

lancec2c30 · 07-14-2006, 06:02 PM
