Thats a good idea...im getting an extra case fan that I would have no use for...I got it cuz it was free lol. What kind of a brace would you use?

HAVE AN IDEA! I think I will take some old shitty pci card and cut most of the card off...then plug the pci card in and screw the fan into the card! That might work...

that would work. i have old sound cards and 56k modems and shit lying around. i was thinking of taking the pci slot part off of another card, then make a metal square, and attach it to the pci slot slip of metal. then stick the fan in the square with a hole in the middle. only prob is i have to find this piece of metal. i guess ur idea would work!

[bigdawgfoxx]

both of our ideas would work!

The only problem is this. If we do that it will no doubt cool the GPU off. But what if it blows some air off course so not enough is getting to the CPU...thats a thought. We could always try it and see! And once I get everything running properly and everything I WILL! You can try it for now since you have your stuff and tell me if it helps u. I will try it when everythings working on mine. Also have that fan blowing air UP in the case and having a fan on top of the case to pull it out would seem logical.

That would also light up our awesome graphics cards (if your fan is lit...mine is&#33 I wanted to take like a 4inch cathode and mount it on the PCI slot next to my 9500Pro somehow and it would light up my Gcard. That would look SWEET! I was gona use red but that might look kinda weird with all the blue, but now that I think about it my fan will shine blue newayz!

1 major problem is wether or not the brace will hold the weight of my 120mm case fan. they're pretty heavy. and i also need a power molex. 4 some reason, mine only has 2 wires and no psu molex connector. weird.

Those 120 MM's are pretty heavy, but the connector only has two wires? On a 120MM? I guess its a yellow and a black? Or is it a black and a red?

its a black and red. does that make a difference? i know it works cuz i connected it to a battery. but i need a molex to put it in my pc. plus, i doubt a metal brace will hold it&#39;s weight. wat bout a 90mm? i also have one of those lyinga round. for some weird reason, this one is also missing the molex.

Just go buy a molex connector from somewhere like radio shack, and wire the black to where the black corresponds on the molex, and likewise with the red.

How exactly are you rigging the brace?
