Introduction: Pwr Laptop Cooler

I as of early 2006 I could not find a powerful enough laptop cooler that was good for my use. So I made one myself. It's been working great for me so I thought I would share with others.

Here is what you need.

Medium Fedex box.
Two VHS tapes.
PC Fans. ( I use two 120mm Antec 3 step speed control Quite fans)
PC ATX power supply.
Small zip ties.
Large zip ties..

Step 1: Cut the Box

You can make it esay on yourself and use a medium Fedex box like I did.
Cut the box like the picture.
Start with the bottom part that is going to rap around the box.

Step 2: Making the Box 1

Let's make the back side of the box.
Fold the box.
Note: look at where the video tape is going to be.

Step 3: Fold the Box to Shape

Just cut the top surface of the box so that it bends.
Bend the box in to this shape.

Step 4: Attach the Video Type.

I attached the video type/laptop stand by using zip ties.
Punch a hole through the box and use zip ties to attach it.

Step 5: Fan Hole

Make a hole for the fan to blow the air in.

Step 6: Attach Fan

Use small zip ties to attach the fans to the box.
Make to two small cuts then pass the zip ties through then lock it with the fan.

Step 7: Attach to ATX Power

Attach to ATX power supply.

Enjoy.
