so i have an extra 23 dollar 92 mm Panaflo that i don't know what to do with and i thought that it would be a good idea to make it an intake fan to blow in on the PCI cards, in that area. Well, i have a lian-li pc-61 case, black mid-tower with no window, how should i go about installing this thing. i have an entire metal shop in my back yard that is twice the size of our house so i can do anything but my creativity is what is lacking. The top exhaust fan has a vent type design but that seems like it would be hard to reproduce, any ideas?
also, what can be used as a filter for this, the front fans have this filter that isn't dense at all, you can easily see through it, what is there that is like that?
also, this fan has a 3-pin connector and my motherboard, believe it or not, doesn't have any spare 3-pin connectors on it for some reason. Could i take any old Molex plug and solder the wires appropriately and it will work with a 4-pin molex then or what?
 
replaced the 3-pin connector with the 4-pin and caught myself applying pressure on a sharp knife pointed at my abdomen that could slip at any moment. (when removing individual pins from 4-pin molex)
well anyways the fan runs perfectly with this set-up so i wired it correctly but when i tested on some filter that i have, the fan rubs on the filter because the fan is so strong that it sucks the filter into it a bit and chews on it. i somehow now need to make some sort of minor grill that will keep the filter out of the fan
 
put the filter on the other side of the fan so its blowing through it
