Speed controlling computer fans
For years I have been using the Silverstone fm121 as it comes with a remote mounted speed controlling potentiometer, goes as high as 110 CFM and 0.4 amps consumption. It is fairly quiet for this am...

Use KRYLON PAINT FOR PLASTIC. It goes on lacquer thin and embeds into the plastic.
I now have the expensive ICEBERG 70 db fan in possession. 120 mm 290 cfm. Then there's the Pabst, which I can feel 25' distant.
The WFCO has 145F capacitors with 3 amperes output. I just cannot figure out why the idiots did not mount that vertical ceramic wirewound resistor INSIDE the cap and be done with it all. The fan (?) is mounted on the far end of the board ready to blow heated toroid air a foot distant to the sensitive electrolytics. No wonder the thing cannot possibly work right. The aptitude and intelligence of the design crew finds itself stuck somewhere between a fifth and sixth-grader's science project.
