Replacement fan for HD case
Dear Quadrphiles: I am looking for a replacement fan for an external hard drive case. The existing fan is making some vibrating noises indicative that the bearings are going. Also, I'd like to get a fan that will move more air, as this case has a Barracuda in it and runs on the hot side. The existing fan is labeled as follows: Sunon KD 1206 PT53 DC 12V 1.2 W The fan's screw holes are exactly 5cm x 5cm on-center. Where can I get a replacment for this, and how can I know how much air it will move vs. the exisitng one? Thanks, Fr.

Sunon KD 1206 PT53 DC 12V 1.2 W The fan's screw holes are exactly 5cm x 5cm on-center. You could look for a 50mm fan at PC overclocker web pages. They usually will list dimensions, fan speed in RPM, and CFM (cubic feet of air moved per minute). They will also usually list the loudness of the fan in dB. www.svcompucycle.com - is one of my faves www.plycon.com www.inflowdirect.com www.sidewindercomputers.com Look for links on those sites to other OC pages if you don't find what you're looking for. _ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!

Just about any decent computer parts store or online retailer will have fans in a multitude of speeds/flow ratings, but to find the flow rating on the original you'll have to track down the manufacturer's spec sheet for it, which might be pretty difficult. -- the pickle FAQ http://macfaq.org/index.shtml Software Archive ftp://download:jmug;ftp.jmug.org//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/ http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/ _ -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

You can get pretty close though by using a fan of the same current rating, the voltage rating already needs to be the same assuming you are powering it from the same source. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
