Answer» Rig...Comp same thing... To me, a hacker has always been an incorrigible coder, with no implication of illegality or wrongdoing. Linux was built by hackers. In the 1980s I read in a magazine that a hacker's computer was one with a built-in ashtray. EXACTLY! Quote from: macdad- on March 31, 2009, 05:22:57 PM Rig...Comp same thing... "Computer" is a word. "Rig" is actually a verb that somebody decided made a perfectly good noun as well. anyway regarding cooling fans Some designs make the case airtight aside the intake and exhaust fans. I imagine this means less dust. on the case exterior.Same definition.Quote from: macdad- on March 31, 2009, 05:36:27 PM Same definition. Google thinks otherwise. # gear (INCLUDING necessary machinery) for a particular enterprise # trailer truck: a truck consisting of a tractor and trailer together # formation of masts, spars, sails, etc., on a vessel # arrange the outcome of by means of deceit; "rig an election" # outfit: a set of clothing (with accessories); "his getup was exceedingly elegant" # manipulate in a fraudulent manner; "rig prices" # fishing gear: gear used in fishing # connect or secure to; "They rigged the bomb to the ignition" # carriage: a vehicle with wheels drawn by one or more horses # equip with sails or masts; "rig a ship" # swindle: the act of swindling by some fraudulent scheme; "that book is a fraud" Anywho....if he had his fan blowing into the recorder then he could do it either way, i just depends on whether or not the fan is compatible with the fan supply circuitry.Thank you for all your thoughts on this. I've decided to keep the fan blowing until a friend comes to town next month and takes a look at it. He's my electronics "GO to" guy. He can tell me which fan I'll need.Hope it works out for you what happens when you replace the cooling fans? _________________ Aprilaire what do you THINK will happen? No more cooling fans would MEAN a rise in temperatures and a eventual breaking of the computer. Quote from: iamyourmom on April 23, 2009, 12:24:12 AM what do you think will happen?

I thought Priest asked what happens if you get NEW cooling fans, not that cooling fans are MISSING.... oops my bad. I think that Priest is possibly not a native English speaker, and used the wrong tense in his/her question, and really meant to ask, (considering the long time this thread has been dormant) "What happened when you replaced the fans?" I was not asking about a computer fan, but one for a digital satellite TV recorder, however, I guess the results of having no fan will be bad in either situation. As it turned out, that fan was no longer available, so he set up another type of fan he had that ran on a small DC current and rigged an adapter for a wall plug. It's run since with no problems or glitches in the recorders functions. In fact, the recorder doesn't even get warm! Thanks all.

Back it my teens it was a ham radio transmitter Very nice Johnson ya have there, most likely tubes, with a crystal controlIt depense on what type of machine you have, there are usually two fans one sucking air in and one blowing it out, it depense on the design of the machine case as it was engineered to re-circulate the air and stream it through the desired path for optimal cooling. |
