So has anyone tried using a centrifugal blower to cool their PC?

Something like this






I have one in my basement and figured it would make a fun project if noone has done it yet With this much air pressure a case would have to be streamlined so as not to break apart :/

They're pretty inefficient compared to an axial fan.

Yeah, but I dont have an industrial strength fan just a blower.

Besides, its nozzle is about the size of a regular case fan, so its alot easier to deal with.

I've been looking for one of those.Where do you get one?

I wonder if you could reverse the flow direction for some uber exhaust system.

My neighbor works in construction, got it from him so I have no idea. Google "centrifugal fan" i guess.



No, but you COULD hook up a duct to it's intake on the side.


I dunno, I'm thinking of making a case to do this with....a regular case would probably break apart under this pressure, and the expansion cards may just crack in half without any support.

Ummm why would the case break apart?

Or are you just messing about

What is the airflow like in comparison with a 120mm Delta EHE Fan? [/color]

Manyak

Because the air pressure would be tremendous.

Delta fan = what, 80cfm?
This blower = at least 2,000cfm.

See this.

Delta 120 EHE is 220CFM


2000CFM...


Bloody hell...
