Default I turbocharged my computer!!!(updated with video on pg.7)
Lol, so anyway, I was bored the other day and decided to clean my computer out with compressed air.



I went in my garage and saw this puppy sitting on the shelf. Its an "electric supercharger" from Ebay that I bought before I learned anything about forced induction for my car. (All you car guys can laugh here).







So as I am cleaning my case, I see the side on the side of the motor that it say 12V... Now I start thinking to myself (which can be dangerous at times) hmmm.... my PSU supplies 12V.... Theres a hole in the side of my case.... I have lots of wires and switches laying around.....





After a half hour of playing with my stripper (wire that is), voltmeter, blacktape and a few other things, I am proud to present to you.......

My turbocharged computer case!









When it is on, this thing sounds like a monster!!! It drops my load temps (Prime95) by 5 degrees. I dont keep it on all the time though, only when stress testing and benching. Hope you guys like it!

Nice, I was concerned that it would be pulling alot of amps off the PSU, but its only 8 amps (96w at 12v), so I guess you are okay with it. Thats if its similar to this anyway.
But it looks awesome and I can imagine if you had a big typhoon it would help temps alot more.
