been there and done that...

my previous case....
added a 60mm fan to help bring fresh air from the front intake to my 8800GTS 320 SLI GCs


also my DIY ram cooler... cable tied the 2nd 120mm fan to the CPU HSF (was using XP-120)

looks like im using a GeminII (actually only XP-120)

I using that way too...exept using lego .

Using P3 fan for cooling my Ram:

stick at modified fan base and top of the ram.

it wont hurt the ram..the fan juz pushes air..so no harm..or maybe juz little vibration issue..but the tape also a vibrating damper..so..yup! no problem

this isnt a simple yet efficient mod....but a cheapo and efficient repair

heres a pic of the patient....its a cheapo wireless keyboard with integrated cursor control (aka built in mouse) this is what i use to control my HTPC. works perfectly except for 1 thing...


see the thing in the yellow circle? thats where the KB is spoiled...theres a plastic piece under it..its BROKEN!!!
makes controlling the cursor friggin difficult....


heres a pic of the broken plastic piece under the rubber


seperating them


picture of the plastic piece...can see that its broken


so after opening it up....and fixing it (forgot to take pix....sorry) heres the end result...i replaced the plastic piece with something that confirm wont break... a metal screw! just screw it in to the spring inside only.......the rubber piece cant be fitted in...coz the screw too long and i dont have a shorter screw.


and finally the overall look


repairs done....and cost is FREE!!! doesnt look too bad.... and best of all its working perfectly again

this also saved me from paying more money buying a replacement

My KB is alive again.
Working properly again after another few days of sunbath ......
