As this is my 200th post (excludes some posts which I didn’t count), I thought I would do something just for fun/just because I can 🙂
I acquired have 6 loud fans from a server a little while back and have been trying to figure out what to do with them so I’ve built a kind of wind tunnel by using a cardboard box to mount the fans, bubble wrap with some cardboard for support and some bubble wrap on the top to seal most of it off (would have been nice if it was all see through from the outside).
Now add some small pieces of paper and we have a little tornado, it works but the papers do settle down the bottom most of the time.
Over the years I have collected hard drives, most of them a failing and were going to be thrown out but I kept them and thought what would it sound like for all of them to power up at once?
Well I’ve got 40 hard drives on 5 ATX power supplies (it was 4 before but 1 was too overloaded when starting up), so now we know!
