If it works, it works. Nice to see new ideas for tower cooling, especially the inexpensive ones.

alright... that was what I thought regarding the amperage pulled by the fan. I do plan on building a box to house the fan, and use a hole saw to cut the fan hole and a hole for the tube to deliver the air to the tower. I didn't realize the box size could stall the fan but I think I understand how that makes sense. I will definitely experiment, I have plenty of scrap material around the house to run with this. The only thing I need to buy is some tubing. I'll probably work on it this weekend, and post some results when done. Should be a 5 dollar project....

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
