Hi all. The subject is somewhat misleading, as it's obviously not completed. But I'm close! (just a 3" inch hole at bottom of sink unit to cut, trim up the pieces to fit clamp on a filter and I'm on my way!) This pic: http://web.mac.com/tubaneil/iWeb/Site%205/Fan.html shows temp position of intake fan. Fan is plastic as is funnel piece. Although nearly impossible to shed an opinion online..... How hot does the coolant tube and fins get? i.e. will heat from either or both melt the plastic of fan and/or funnel? If so does this pose a fire risk? I promise I won't hold anyone responsible for their opinions! I'll suck it up if I melt stuff! (and for the record, I've found that this setup blows ok even with reducer and elbows attached. With filter on, it will be even slower, but I'll cross that bridge later as I have a line on a Sunco 80mm fan that blows at over 100 cfm and is designed to be exposed to water/dirt. Of course it's new, AND local dist. hadn't heard of it AND it'll probably cost like a kabillion dollars..... relative to other fans.)
