Cheap and nice. I envy those with electronic skills, they can mod all sorts of stuff with just some good simple ideas.

I can see that you are using variable resistors and capacitors. Tell me, are you setting them up in series for each fan? What are the ratings of the variable resistor and capacitors?


After this has been completed I bet the next one you would making is a PWM fan controller right? tongue.gif

You can cut hole using a hole saw attachment for your drill.

@hollowbean
1A output...I guess you are using LM317. This should not be enough for those using high CFM Deltas that sucks 3A icon_idea.gif  smile.gif

BTW, where did you buy that 3 pin connector. Got at Jln Pasar ???
*
i think 1A should be enough to handle normal usage users. not everyone can tahan the noise of high CFM deltas. laugh.gif

3 pin connector i think it can be found at jalan pasar, but not sure. i got those from old motherboards.

Dude, hollowbean, which shop in Jalan Pasar did you find the knobs at? unsure.gif
*
the shop near RHB bank. but not at the same row, it just next to corner at car accessories shop.

Can make one for me? No tool right to make it. tongue.gif

BTW, where did you buy that 3 pin connector. Got at Jln Pasar ???

AFAIK, LM 317 can give out max of 1.5A

LM 350 = 3A

LM 338 = 5A

So far I'd only find LM 317 & LM 338

And Shah, that 3pin connector should be available @ most electronic shops. So are the nice knobs. If cant get, then I can help u smile.gif
