Hello all,
I have sold out of Batch 2.

Batch 3 list now being sorted. I`ll get prices out there once I have enough on my list to get a quote from the fabricators.

Here`s who is on Batch 3 list so far:

Which fans are people using for the tiny little suckers, and what direction is best orientation for airflow (from card side into CPU slot area, or opposite)
 
I came here to ask the same question :)
I ended up finding some 30x30x10mm fans (for batch 2) off of Amazon:

They fit in the 3d printed bracket just fine, but I haven't fully installed them yet - partly because the ends on these tiny fans aren't the right type for a normal fan header... :(

General thought for me is to blow air towards the CPU card area, and let the PSU extraction fan do its job.
One argument against that would be "oh, you're blowing hot air from the card slot area into the CPU area"
Counter argument might be "do you really want to blow hot air from the CPU area into the card slot area?"
 
Set the fans to move air from the zorro side through to the cpu card. You want airflow. Air will be drawn in from the grill next to the isa slots and out through the psu. If you set them the other way then they’ll fight the psu fan.
 
After struggling to get two A3000 case lids to close properly I wanted to share a small tip. If you replace the included screw with a low profile one at the front of the case you will have a much better time

I'm hitting this same issue with my build, as in top picture - case becomes very difficult to close flush. @samoht FYI
@simon_m74 please change out these for something with a lower profile? :)
 
thanks for the info.
I`ll see what screws I can get hole of - the ones I supply are from my workplace, as standard screws.
 
Declared interest for two V2 set's and 2 drive mounts and fan mount for each set.

Declaring interest.
Declaring interest in one set with all the add-ons (two diskette drive mounts, 3D printed fan mount). Thanks!
 
Declaring interest.

Declaring interest in two sets from Batch #3 with all the add-ons (four disk/fan mounts and two 3D printed fan mount). Would also love the 3D printed fan mount in STL format so I can print my own colors. If the STL is public available then I don't need the two 3D printed fan mounts as I'll print my own.
