Want to have some nice light fans but you've allready bought some enermax fans? Or you think that these ledfans are too expensive or their performance sucks? I show you how to build one yourself!

Hey nice idea

But what happens when you connect the fan to a 7v powerline instead of the 12v. I suppose I'll have to use other resistors, how much ohm should it have? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I don't know much about electricity.

I allready made something like that this summer.
But I used a Sunon fan (something which I now regret, 'cuz it's quite loud

), sprayed the blades in white & used blue LEDs, and i must say the effect is quite nifty

unfortunately I don't have picture of it :grum:
anyway, this mod is cheap & very easy to do and above all, It looks really great!
