Pimp my switch (HP Switch fan upgrade)

Hardware Hub Build Logs
1

Hey
I have a short build log for a project I did with a switch a while back. I picked up an HP switch a while back. Unfortunately it came with two small, really loud fans preinstalled, which was a problem since I needed the switch for my bedroom. Solved it by replacing them with a 120mm fan. The fan headers inside the switch provides 5V so the fan spins slowly and quietly.

As a bonus, it also looks nicer-ish

Very nice man. Have you thought about running your fan in exhaust and putting a filter on the holes from the two small fans? Either way good stuff

Looks great!
I would get a dust filter for the fan though.
