First mod - 120mm Fan Mount

[M4573R]

I just bought a Lian Li PC-P50 and I didn't think it had enough intake, so I decide to fill the middle empty bays with a couple extra 120mm fans. (I had two 1200 RPM scythe slipstreams left over from previous purchase). I can't really say its my mod at all because I didn't make the brackets. My father did it in his aluminum workshop because I can't work his milling machines. So anyways, I took some pictures:

(I apologize about the quality, I used my phone)

We didn't have any aluminum angle bracket, so it was milled out of solid aluminum cut from this chunk:

Getting milled out:

Holes tapped:

How it will attach to the fan:

Fan sandwich with rubber o-rings bolted together:

In the case:

Wiring overall:

Bay covers still fit and have dust filters in them:

So there you have it.

I did the same thing with velcro strips. Should I take some pictures?

Lighten up, Francis. It's his first mod.

i thought it was counter productive to mount two fans on top of each other...???

Not necessarily - physics dictates 2 fans on top of each other (blowing in the same direction at least) will not double the speed, but they will double the pressure.

ahhh yes, when dealing with strictly physics, but i thought the real world results showed it was not beneficial .....last i read...perhaps only when it comes to cfm though..

I couldn't necessarily imagine a reason to do it, but if I absolutely positively wanted to make sure I had higher or lower internal pressure in my case, you'd simply need to make sure your intake (or exhaust) was 1 fan greater than the exhaust (intake) - if you wanted to insure it, double up the fans.
