Someone should really make @Med a nice 3DP Fan mount for that butchered horror show hack ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif.pagespeed.ce._hfWAz_QHO.gif)
I'm game. What you got? ![Grin ;D](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xgrin.gif.pagespeed.ic.QVVz6XIT20.png)
I need something dimensionally to work from and I don't own a Tek of that persuasion
Failing that you do the drawings and someone might make it for you ![Grin ;D](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xgrin.gif.pagespeed.ic.QVVz6XIT20.png)
After midnight and I am waiting for the last Tek foot Cap to come off the printer
Foreground is the 100% 3DP rear is the complete surviving original one.
You fuckers; now you're ganging up on me. You're gonna make me drag out my parts mule and figure out what he needs to fix it right, aren't ya? ![Banging Head |O](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/bangheadonwall.gif.pagespeed.ce.8iLbFYV4Bc.gif)
Bean, maybe you should move that OE foot up to the top row, so it's not the one that always gets whacked when you pick the beast up. That worked for several years on my 454 before the remaining ones crumbled of their own accord...

I think it only appropriate that he who has stirred the pot the most should offer a solution ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif.pagespeed.ce._hfWAz_QHO.gif)

Well, now I've hit a snag. All this while, I figured it would be a relatively easy mod to install a standard-size 7530 or 8030 size blower in there, provided you take the top off. Here's a 9533 size ALMOST fitting in the cavity in the back cover. Problem is, to work it needs to face THE OTHER WAY... which means the blower is turning in the wrong direction. And yes, such blowers DO exist; but they're generally custom parts.
Any of the common computer hardware blowers you can buy will be made for THIS orientation... nothing off-the-shelf affordable is made for "reverse-rotation".

Now I find myself looking to axial fans like med did... so I'm experimenting with this Dell 80x25 server fan I have oodles of. The thing that makes it different is it has a thermistor control that can be nipped off and remote located pretty easily, so temp sense can be put right in the middle of the PSU just like the original. I have an Arctic F8TC on the way from Amazon; if this one proves to be "fittable", I'll see how that one does.
