WillGSX Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 So now that my wineador has been up and running for awhile, I have noticed a lot of humidity fluctuation between top and bottom levels as well as within the drawers. Figured I would give the fans a shot and try to do something a little different. Enjoy! I started with an empty box of PSD4 10s and drilled 8 holes for a small screw to go through. On the other end of the screws I would place an aluminum standoff. Then I ran longer screws through the fan mounts and into the other end of the standoffs. Just another angle here.... Here are both fans mounted. I cut the MOLEX connectors off, as well as the end of a universal multi-volt AC adapter and connected both the fans to the AC wires. I kept all the wires inside the PSD4 box to keep it looking clean. Ran the AC wire into the side of the box to be connected inside. Here is the mess to be contained by the box. And with the box lid reattached and closed... With power attached both fans operate. The AC adapter is 3v - 12v so by adjusting that I can effectively adjust the fan speed. At 3v they are very slow which I will try first to get some good mixing in the wineador. And here she is in her final resting place below the false bottom drawer. I'm confident that with some thrifty online shopping this entire project can be completed for around $20. I was bored and was looking for a project so I purchased everything from RadioShack and paid a bit more for the convenience of NOW. 2x 80mm LED Case Fans - $11.99 1x Universal AC Adapter w/voltage setting - $21.99 2x PCB Standoffs (4x in each) - $3.98 Grand Total - $37.96 + tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1LegLance Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 wow that is pretty cool.... You could add a water tray under there and almost have an active humidification setup I assume you use beads in your wine-ador? Thanks for the write up as I might give that a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtonium Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 That looks really good, I purchased 3 80mm fans, I was hoping to do one on each side. Now that I see your setup, I wonder if I'll have the room for 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
