Thanks one_eye! I completely forgot about the gadget show! We'll chalk that one up to the ol' short attention span.

Your welcome, I just started listening in Jan, so it hasn't been that long since I went through all the archives. I'm sure I'll drink most of that knowlage out here soon.

P.S. I got the same reply from redorbit as Bub

Ok those of you with homemade stirplates, what size fan did you use? I tried a 4" but my power supply wouldn't even budge it (7 volt) I have a new standard sixe 180mm case fan, but this seems too small. Will the smaller fan work?

Ok, I've got my hard drive magnet. What's the best way to affix it to the fan so that it isn't too off balance? What would you use to affix it? I'm going to try epoxy. I've left mine on the metal backing because it looks like it would be too powerful without the metal backing. Without the backing between the magnet and the motor, the motor wouldn't spin.
