MEGAWATT Cooling Fan Questions
It's cooling fan modification time. The louvered cutout on the aluminum case has 4 spot-welds in the hub. Any idea why? I am planning on full-circle cut-out the holes on both Megawatts, then use...

About air transfer volume in electronic chassis': I was challenged by finding solutions for air transfer with some cases I built. Adopting screens to keep out debris restricted flow too much. Drilling/punching holes was less restrictive but not well received, aesthetically. I ended up suspending a top panel, dimensionally the same as the chassis footprint, 1/4" above the chassis. On a 15" X 12" case, that resulted in a port of approx. 13 sq. in. The suspended panel works good as dust won't settle into the case, and cooling flow isn't restricted.
You guys with these small case power supplies may be able to do a similar construction by suspending a plate 1/2" or so above the fan chassis. Use longer bolts and a nut to hold the panel in place. Heck, a bean can lid with the edges dulled may fit an 80mm fan exactly, lol.
