DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

the fan mod is my way around the constant running.  i took a rotozip to the back of the chasis and removed the factory opening for the 5v 40mm fan.  From there i attached a fan duct from the side panel of a antec sonata case.  I think it helps the 80mm fan channel the air better than gluing it straight to the rear panel.  I used a 3speed antec (yes blue LED) fan and a 120v>12v adpt. to run the fan at 12v instead of  the DNS 5v.  no more heat probs, no more "fan noise" probs.

all of this runs through a dlink dgl-4500 gigabit router with wireless N (for the asus eeepc )

















i can run the 12v fan on high and never hear it.  i think the duct helps keep the air flow noise down.  before, it sounded like a small jet was flying around my computer room.  i could hear the OEM fan running at night from the other end of the house.  problem solved
