Well, I think I'm finished other than minor changes as I use it. I ended up using the 3 pin adapters than came with the fans I orderd, it's the same style of adapter used on motherboards to connect to case fans and the processor...

Well, I got it all assembled yesterday, it went a lot faster than I was expecting. I got all the fans screwed in, spliced the USB cable to the hot/ground leads on my fans and tightened everything down a bit. The plexiglass...

Alright, here we go, I got all the components together and had a chance to get some work done on it. So here's where I am so far. I've got my plexiglass, two 12 x 14.5 inch 1/8" think sheets. That's I've set up my fan...

Well I got all the components today, I ended up getting 80x80x15 fans because I couldn't find any 10mm thick fans that had as good a sound ratings and rpm's as I was wanting. I am trying to use plexi-glass instead of poly, which might...

I've got a quick question for those owners of the 4750 laptop. I've got an 9860 that I think is having power supply issues and I have a friend who lives not too far away with a 4750, so I'd like to see if his power brick might work...

As I've posted recently here, I'm trying to sort out an issue I'm having with my 9860, I am hoping that it is the power brick (as opposed to something for fundemental like the CPU). But to test this I need another brick that will work....

I experienced a simliar issue minus the puff of smoke or smell of burning anything. On my 9860, when I plug in the AC adapter it starts making some odd noises that I don't remember from before, when I try to boot up the computer it...
