becoz i'm not as rich as u all, so i hv to make DIY cooler tongue.gif

1st stage - feb2005
user posted imageuser posted imageuser posted imageuser posted image

Material Used n Cost:
3x 8cm fan = FOC (spoil psu)
wood= FOC (from my relatives)
adapter= FOC (found inside my house) tongue.gif
TOTAL - FOC

Performance
not 100% satisfied coz the fan position is not correct to blow the hdd, it's still hot when  BT at high speed... other parts r cooled very well, n the fan speed is adjustable through adapter

_____________________________________________________________________

now got $ a bit, so 2nd stage - feb2006
user posted imageuser posted image

Material Used & Cost:
2x 12cm fan - RM13 each
arcylic casing - RM20
red color rubber tube - RM4
adapter - RM10
TOTAL - RM60

Performance
i rate it 100% effective compare to the cooler outside, the fan position is just under the heat area, all are cooled very well n very silent, only it's still bulky

Thx bro yeah is my 1st time!!
The weight is more or less the same as the normal raw metal cooling pad(def not aluminium/plastic)!
The wood i'm using is not very heavy(trible decker wood) (is it call this unsure.gif ??)
And i don't care abt the weight of the pad act ,because i'm not going to carry it from place to place . I name it as a static cooling pad smile.gif smile.gif !

Wondering to make a stage 2 project,after knowing (betty's) works it is amazing and is value also!! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

That's a really nice job there bro... thumbup.gif
But, i think you should paint the blowhole or cover it with some carbon fibre sticker u've used earlier...

Why?
Because the wood look on the blowhole is kinda .................. sweat.gif

Just my opinion though... notworthy.gif

This concept is more interesting I think.... like turbo boosting existing lappy cooler rather than just cooling plastic.
