Topic: Side panels

Have you played about with this Tim (ie adding side panels)
Im thinking it might make things a little quieter, but probably hotter?

Re: Side panels

I did, I made sides and a top. The sound output was not measurably different. If you're worried about heat, a 60mm or 80mm fan would handle it. New motor is 5dBa quieter. That's all I know. smile

Re: Side panels

Can I be a beta tester for this motor Tim?

Re: Side panels

I'm not sure I have enough on hand, unfortunately. I should have a shipment of them coming soon, though!
