No, it's just something rattling around inside your head.

Call me an idiot, but what would you use to power the PC fan? I'm interested in getting some air moving around my PS3, as it gets mighty warm as well.


Found this web site for you cooling fans

...and if so, how do you connect it to the fan? The connections are not the same. (Can you tell I'm not a DIYer? \:\)



Yeah, A wallwart like that would work. It just has a 12v positive and negative wire coming out of it, Which you would hook to the black and red (usually) wires on the fan. Alot of computer fans have 3 wires but you dont need that third one. You would most likely then want to plug the wallwart into a switched outlet on your reciever if you have one.

I have an Integra DTC-9.8 pre-pro that tends to get very hot. I bought this from ebay after reading very positive reviews from AVSforum.com. The fans are essentially inaudible and work very well to cool the processor. You plug the unit to your switched outlet behind the receiver/processor and when the temp reaches a certain point, the thermostat turns the fans on. You can also get a variable thermostat or no thermostat (fans on all the time). I recommend it highly.

Man, you guys certainly have a way with hijacking threads lately ;\)

I wonder, What might it be worth to all you to not show these posts to your bosses? I'm eyeing some B&W 802D. Perhaps we can strike a deal ;\)

Thanks, ihifi. I've talked with the guy, and it turns out his transformers will actually work out here in high-voltage-land (AC/DC rocks! \:D ), just have to change the plug.

Regards,
David
