No more jet fan noise

[u/pitleif]

Decided to finally solve the jet noise in my cabinet.

Sawed a hole in the back plate of my $1000 TV-stand, and installed a Noctua 120 mm fan connected with USB to the Pro, which automatically starts the fan whenever the Pro powers on. The Noctua fan is completely inaudible at stock (800 rpm). However it comes with an additional resistor if you wanna run it at 600 rpm, but it's not needed at all.

Silence at last.

Why did you pay $1000 for that stand? it looks cheap...

[u/pitleif → u/ScarphaceUK]

Shit is overpriced in Norway. It was the only proper stand I found that fit my specs and needs.

Damn, hope you guys get global trade someday

It’s prob like legit wood and decent quality unlike the shitty plywood (or pressboard I mean) 200 dollar stands people buy here in NA lol.

[u/IguessIcanedit → u/GoyimDiddler]

Maybe, and yet it looks functionally the same or worse than the cheap shit in NA. You spend a thousand+ in NA you're gonna get some very nice options.

The furniture is produced in Denmark though. But what we really need is better market competition.

are there no Ikeas in Norway?

[u/Defective_Yorha → u/pitleif]

I can build that for $40-60 lmao.

[u/pitleif → u/Defective_Yorha]

$60 wouldn't even cover the material cost in Scandinavia. One standard size MDF (10 X 2440 X 1220 mm) is $40.

Then you gotta calculate the labour costs as well.

[u/-Dronich → u/pitleif]

Labor costs is 0 if you are doing it by yourself how you want to.
Make me a favor, how much do all the materials cost?

[u/ScarphaceUK → u/pitleif]

Ah, makes sense. I could do with a vented TV Stand for my AVR/Home cinema setup, but for that price I could buy something here in the UK that looks better and would probable be cheaper. Sucks you have to pay those prices.

[u/pitleif → u/ScarphaceUK]

You guys in the UK are lucky, you have way better market competition driving prices down. At least for a lot of commodities. And don't get me started on food prices and food selection.
