Hi Rossi1959,
Thanks for the interest for my little project
And hi minihack,
I think both projects take a little bit work and time,
but the point is sharing some ideas and re-invent the wheel mac...
And yes ... your project looks good too
And I'll give that a try ... just for the experience.
I even haven't think about to do something like you did,
but it looks good and my point using the original fans was (and you mention it at the video too)
that they transfer very much air
Hi JBG,
Sorry, I wasn't in any way trying to take away from your great work. I think what you have done is awesome and also the use of the automatic temperature sensing is amazing.
I just thought it was worth linking to an alternative that many people don't think of. There are some problems with my alternative method - not all fans are as easy to take apart as the Apple ones (OMG for once Apple made something easy to hack!!). Indeed, you only find out if a fan is suitable once it has been disassembled. But, if we can find a nice PWM fan that is cheap enough then the re-bodying is certainly a simple enough route to that and doesn't need any knowledge of electronics to make work.
Hacking is a broad church and experimenting with different methods is the way we advance it.
