Re: Case Mod for External Fan -- Dell SX280

Just came across this, even though it has been a few months, thought I would add a few notes. I just finished modding 8 of these shoe box PC's with a side fan. These will all be used in an office and not mobile. I think one of the biggest problems on the mobile side is regulating the 12v supply. Vehicles typically run at 13.8 -14.4 volts when running and you will loose at least 1.5v in a regulator, so it would be possible as long as the vehicle is running. However when not running, your 12v buss would drop to under 11v. The best option...
