What fan did you use?


general parts list - choose the thinnest 40mm x 40mm fan you can find for a good price. I'll be making some available for those in Europe in the next couple of weeks.

How did you mount it?

Best to use some plastic rivets such as those listed on the parts guide. Check the diameter of the holes in your fan - if 3.1mm or 3.2mm the exact digikey/farnell/richco codes are fine. If 3.6 or 3.7mm, use Richco SR-3570B or SR-3580B. If 3.5mm, get a 3.6, 3.65 or 3.7mm drill and carefully enlarge the holes, then use the Richco codes I've just given.

Other BBS members have simply bedded the fan down onto a ring of silicone filler (the sort you use to seal bath-to-tile joins).

If you go the plastic rivet route, you may also want to use some small fibre or rubber washers from your local hardware store - between fan and case to reduce vibration noise a little. Either the flat or doughnut shaped washers are fine.
