Next is to give the
cone a coat of color and black bumper paint was chosen for this, I keep
a can of this on hand at all times! I like this stuff as it really
"mimics" the finish of black pastics with a slightly
"grainy" look.
Starting with a dusty,
light coat and then applying several heavier coats.
Below is the finished
painted cone...
Next is to attach the
cone to the fan.
I'll be using "hotglue"
for mine, I like the stength you get but with a non-permanent result,
just a small "dob" on each side of the inner cone is usually
more then enough to hold the fan for hundreds of hours of use.
You can of course use
a more permanent style glue, double sided tape or even bluetack (as I
found out some one had done after getting HP2 back after a recent
magazine photo shoot!!!!!).
The cone is quickly
stuck down and centered while the glue is still hot, the end result is a
Turbine style fan.
Looks pretty sweet,
and so simple to do.
Here is a shot of the
Turbine fan spinning.
I'll be using this fan
for a new server case I'm building for here at home.
And a final parting
shot of the fan in its new home.
Happy Modding
