PC Case Made Completely of Fans

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the keeping-cool-while-looking-it dept.

drgroove writes "I work in a computer store building PCs all day. With every new case there are one or two 8cm case fans included. Most of the systems we build do not need any more cooling than is supplied by the CPU fan as most of our customers generally don't go in for all this 'overclocking malarky.' Looking around the stock room I discovered two large boxes of unused 8cm case fans.

    The above is a link to a guy who made a case for his Mini ITX board out of something like 25 8cm fans plus a few reinforcements.

    Obviously, the machine isn't as silent as most of the home projects on that site try to be, but I'm sure the SlashDot crowd can appreciate the workmanship.
