While cleaning my desk, I found a 80mm 24volt 0.11A fan.
Is there anyway to hook this up with a standard ATX PSU?

It pushes quite a bit of air with 12v, can't wait to see what it can do with 24v. :D
 
Yes you can pull 24v out of an ATX power supply. Dunno how mod crazy you are, but you would need to connect the + line of the fan to a 12+ line on your PSU, and the - line of the fan to the 12- line on your ATX mobo connector (NOT THE GROUND! THE NEGATIVE TWELVE LINE). Look up a diagram of the ATX connector to find the 12- line. I've tried it myself with both some regular 12v 80mm's and a voltage tester. 24 volts :) HTH
 
Thanks. :D

I can't use it in this case anyways with any mods. All 120mm. ;)
I just wanted to see how much air it can push. :)
