So majority if us hobbyists may have som old PC PSU units that are broken and just laying around in our boxes. And seeing alot of solder fume vents that are out there, you need to build it. But here's a simple way of doing that

Gut It Out!

I already removed the pcb and the components of my power supply and just left the fan.

Connecting the Fans

I don't want to cut off the ends of the fan so I just took a wire and just made a pin and soldered it in a scrap pcb laying around.

Sticky Tac!

I just used sone sticky tac to stick it in the enclose. For the reason that it's what's in my drawer and is closer and I can't find my hot glue gun.

You're Done!
