  • Cooling an ADSL modem

    My modem suffers from overheating issues, so I am contemplating cutting a hole in the case and putting a system fan in the hole.

    My main question is how would I power the fan?

      just

      remove the case altogether and let regular air flow cool things.

        I suggest water cooling. Just let it sit in the sink and leave the water running.

          Why not just buy a small desk fan?

            Why not just buy a reliable Chinese ADSL?

              Use a 230V axial fan like this

                Why bother with a fan ? Just cut the hole and put icecubes in when nessecary

                  Sounds a bit like Kucis water cooling idea

                    Yep, but it's more practical - you don't get your sink filled with electronic stuff and can use it for other purposes.

                      Or you could just put the modem in a tigtly sealed plastic bag in the freezer

                          This would actually work quite well, if you don't care about aesthetics.
