Thermaltake Tai-Chi HDD fan question

knucklebones · 30 Aug 2006 at 16:59

I'v just bought this case, and another 'icage' a 3bay 3hdd holder with it's own fan. The only problem is that when I fit the new cage, there is nothing covering the fan at all. So i was wondering if there is a clip on vent/grill that can be bought to cover this.
Thanks for any help

Hi, I have this case and I'm in need of a new Icage, where did you get yours? and I would also be interested in where to buy a new cover for the front of the icage too....

Would a standard wire grill be able to be attached to the fan?

Please don't ask for competitors, read the rules & try me instead

Septh i got mine from (oops) if you google it there are a couple of places in the uk.
DaveMac, it has this already. I was looking for something more like a grill to cut down on dust entering through the fan.

Can I suggest you read the rules again once you have removed that link.

You can get bespoke filters than fix on like the fan grill, but an easier and cheaper option is to cut a piece out of some tights, stretch it over the fan and hold it with an elastic band.

I'll see if I have some tights hidden somewhere.
Haven't worn them since fishnets.

Just be sure to wash them first

Sorry I didn't mean to ask for a completitor, I assumed that as ocUK doesn't sell these items it wouldnt matter.... My bad
I have googled to a fan cover that looks the same as the one which came with the case, but it seems that no one sells them on there own, maybe I should just buy another whole case n steal it off of that lol
