My first fan bus
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2002 2:39 pm
I lost my fan bus cherry this weekend.
I got a little bored so I jotted down the stuff I needed from 8balls, ran to radio shack and got what I needed to make my own fan bus. I ended up making a 4 fan bus but used the smallest project box from radio shack, don't do that, there is not enough room for the wires. I made it work but didn't think it would all fit. It works like a charm though, I'm really happy with it.
Next project, a four plug bus in a bigger box with a rheostat in-line to control the fan speeds, I'm going to add an LED to show that it has power just because. Just thought I'd let you all know that the directions at 8balls are very good and easy to follow. I highly recommend you make your own if you are looking to buy one.
