Re: Star Wars upright - Fitting a fan to keep it cool ?

Thanks, Cant see one here though ??

I fitted a 115V Fan (Powered from the Power Brick Aux outputs) under the Top Grille, and gaffer taped all round it inside under the grille, so ALL the air is forced out of the top slots and not partially circulated round...

I also taped up the Vent above the back door and removed the slat at the bottom rear vent... So lots of air is now sucked up from inside the cab and blown out of the top !! - Fan is a little noisy, but not too bad and will be fine for the weekend... Its now very draughty at the top rear of the cab, we are moving a serious amount of Air now... !!

I used computer screws to fit the yoke cover back on.. and coloured them black with a marker pen... They fitted perfectly... 6-32 Screws, Same as the Hard Drive screws etc !! Thanks Stephen :-)

The Show I'm taking it to is looking VERY good and is sold out..... www.byte-back.info

Regards, Colin

  My SW upright has a fan on the card cage, maybe it's for that.
