Projector Fan: Noisy, what to do?
Mar 30, 2008 by James A | Posted in Other - Electronics
Hello.
I recently purchased a projector that uses the DIY computer monitor kind of method, and it has all been working fine but its got one little problem, it's really really noisy.
It's got 3 fans:
. one at the front which isn't a problem.
. one to circulate air between the LCD which i'm replacing with a silent computer one.
. one at the back that takes hot air from the bulb and blows it out the back, it's called a (centrifugal fan or a squirrel cage fan) and it's really loud, here's some pics to show how its placed in the projector.

These types of fans seem hard to find on the internet, so i think i'll need some kind of alternative or a muffling device. Also, i was thinking when the air comes out the exhaust and hits the plastic grills, thats making noise, so maybe i could cut the grills and that would stop some noise, but i don't really want to damage the case.
any ideas would be great?
Thank you
