Alternative use for computer fans?

Tabnabs · 2013-11-19 16:27:05

I recently liberated two fan units from computers heading for scrap. Not entirely sure why (other than a vague idea to use the fan front grid in a hobo stove project)? Any lifehacking ideas on what these fans can be used for?

Can be used to cool regulator/rectifiers on some Honda motorbikes which keeps the electrical system nice and steady! http://www.one-ring.net/vfrfaq/reg-rect.html
