Airplane intake fans?

[Asazman]

I've seen these around, I know if the search worked I could find it....but does anyone know where I can find a fan that looks like an airplane intake? Thanks!

Well.....not exactly. I'm talking about an external fan, not a CPU fan.

most of the ones I have seen where modded useing a regular fans, and a cone made of different material (styrofoam, nose cone for a model rocket, etc.)

I don't think that they make these, you have to mod them. Its not too hard esp. if you have a model/hobby shop nearby that you can get supplys. need a rocket nose cone, or a front spinner cone for props.

RC plane propellor nose cone, shortened a bit, glued to the hub of a panaflo fan.

There's a 2-1/2yr-old thread about it.

You might be talking about a different type of fan called a "squirrel-cage" fan, because it looks a little like a stationary hamster wheel. My cousin has several, but none are for computers. They do produce incredible airflow, however.

here, get one of these, then do any sort of variation you want for the fan itself.

I've been a longtime fan of his work - all his mods are top-notch. As a matter of fact, I've been waiting for Excalibur to be complete for months. The dual-front 120mm fans will sure blow (air).

Yeah, those are just blowers. But if you look at their ratings, they don't produce the same amount of air-pushing as a regular fan of their size. They're just better because they'd be position sideways.

120mm Sunon Blower - 49.7cfm
120mm Sunon Fan - 111.2cfm

Big difference
