This is my first mod Its been done for a while but I just found this forum so I figured I might as well post it. also when I did this mod I had no $ so i had to work with things I had around the house.
Front of my case and the backing of an old laptop screen.
All I had to cut this with as a hacksaw, tin snips, and a wood file. And let me tell you that plastic is tough.
Just checking to make sure the 2 blacks matched.
This was a Ziplock container, it is going to be our Ziplock intake cowling.
Painted it silver and attached it with hot glue.
This was the only 120mm fan I had so I added half a ping pong ball for looks
God bless erector set. without it mounting my fan would have become much more difficult
This is what I had at the end of the day. I think it looks fairly decent. Took around 3 hours most of it spent trying to figure out how to cut the plastic and mount the fan.
I eventually got a few bucks together and bought the fan I originally wanted for the mod. Aerocool Xtreme Turbine 16 blade 89 CFM fan.
The fan looks great turned on, and if you let it run at 100% it even sounds like a jet. Only problem I have is the lights reflecting off the blades form a blue swastika.

Did it affect temps at all, or just for aesthetics? Either way its sweet looking.
