I was bored so I painted my fans

[Bing Fung]

Looking for an inexpensive mod I chrome painted my 2 intake fans and my CPU fan. The effects are subtle, but it really looks cool.



Here the case is on my bench as I installed the fans. They certainly are susceptable to finger prints.




Here they are spinning with the CC light in place.




CPU fan. I may light this one yet.




Fans as seen through the grill. I love the look of fan through a grill, it has this pimped out supercar look.

I just did this quick project to trial the concept and see how it would look. There are some changes and revisions to come yet.

You had to be pretty damned bored to even THINK of that, much less do it. :>) But you're right; the results look pretty cool.

Wow, I wish I was bored enough to do things like that. So, do chrome-painted fans keep the CPU cooler? Nice looking case, BTW.

Thanks Jeff, if I could make money at it it would be fun....

Thanks Kevin! Nope, I don't think painting the fans does dittley for it in temperature cooling other than the COOL factor 8)

Thanks Trev, Thanks Sili!

It's kinda silly, but somehow I'm all wrapped up with this. I picked up another LianLi case for dirt cheap and have started modding / building another...

Time to check into PC anonymous...
