What to do with extra/leftover case fans?

[craigdt]

I have several fans leftover from 2 recent builds.
Anybody do anything interesting with leftover fans?

I have a fan mounted in every conceivable position, and cant fit any more in either of our cases.

Any cool ideas?

Thought about adding a couple to blow over my router/modem/MyCloud/SteamLink

I’ve put extra fans in my tv stand (where my modem and ps3 are).

Fan mod on my wrt1200.

Fan mod on my powerline adapters.

Spares...?

I’m a pack rat so maybe I’m not the best to answer, but there’s always room for an extra fan.

Just set them upright on your desk and point them at you for a nice breeze.

I thought of this with a USB -> PMW adapter.

But my natural curiosity plus desire for destruction guarantees I will stick my finger in the fan

And I know it will hurt

Keep em as spares, fans don't last forever. I've still got some 80mm fans from 10 years ago that are unused, I have used a couple in recent years for people's pcs when the fans gum up for easy fixes. I also had a 92mm usb modded onto my mom's cable modem.
