Default Any good ideas for a spare Vantec Tornado?
I picked up a 92mm Vantec Tornado about 6 months ago, and it spent a while strapped to the bottom of my 9800GX2. After I couldn't stand the noise anymore I ripped it out and now Its just sitting.
I have an Antec 1200, with no place for a 92mm fan


Any fun/useful ideas?

Do I need a "special" fan controller because of the wattage draw of this fan?

i don't know how many watt it needs, if it really high you're limited to a Sunbeam Reobus or a Lamptron L5 or something like that
