Think the equivalent of side mounted car type headers with integrated fans for collecting the heat and angling it out the back of the entertainment centre. Anyone know of a product that can do this or perhaps have jury-rigged such a setup? Couple big computer fans, just need to buy a power supply to go with, and away you go. Big honking hole saw in the location you want the fans. -- Froz... |

Fans aren't the problem, I can get them easily. I don't want to exhaust straight out the back of the receiver component section. I want the heat to exhaust out the right internal side panel side into the LCD section and then do a 90° out the back. Basically, I'm looking for some type of porting apparatus to guide the heat where I want that's also capable of holding a fan. Find fans to fit some standard ABS or PVC pipe then, it is cheap and easy comes in many different sizes. -- Froz... |

You'd probably have to rig up something to hold the fan, but you can get hoses and elbows and various adaptors to move the air to where you want it. Reply-to address is real John |

How about just making a channel out of ply and attaching it to the
entertainment center? It doesn't need to be built like dust collection piping as you'll still get plenty of flow regardless of how ugly it is inside. You could even veneer the outside if appearance is an issue. Art "Upscale" wrote in message ... I'm in the middle of modifying my entertainment centre for use with an LCD TV.

Or simply make something from 1/8" and 1/4" plywood. Air duct dosen't need to be round. --------------------------------------------- ** http://www.bburke.com/woodworking.html ** --------------------------------------------- |

Thanks U: It depends on the size of the fan you are satisfied with but metal or vinyl downspout material would be an interesting choice. Connectors are available for either.

Ok, thanks for all the suggestions. As one person mentioned, it doesn't have
to be made pretty and could even be made out of plywood since it will be hidden behind the LCD TV. I'm taking pictures of the conversion from CRT to LCD and I'll put them up shortly. |

Now you have me thinking about my fairly new entertainment center - which is all buttoned up. Heat kills, so I'd better start looking at low noise fans, etc. |

Big honking hole saw in the location you want the fans. Those are commonly known as "muffin fans" and are also available in 110 volt versions. I've got one on the side of my Dynaco 400 power amp. I think I bought the one I'm using at Radio Shack some years ago. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |
