I'm out of ideas for how to lightproof my PC so it doesn't glow out the fans like a freakin jack-o-lantern while still getting good airflow??![]()
When the stress burns my brain just like acid raindrops, mary jane is the only thing that makes the pain stop
The above, or just a 90 degree PVC elbow (diameter based on fan size) and paint the inside of the elbow black.
I'm Grumpy' because your Dopey!
thanks, videos actually kinda helpful, already tried a similar design, just wish i could get the info without listening to this dude blubber on for three five minute videos..

You should have carbon filters on exhaust fans that block light. Smok4 on another forum used PC fan guards with thin layer of carbon in pantyhose squished in and fastened on.
You can make a variation of this (https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=135524) using plastic corner guards from home depot painted flat black.

I just made a modified version of scrubninja's light trap (above drawing)
I used z channel flashing in a wood frame. I have couple construction pic in my linked thread. Should have finished pics up this evening, will let you know how it works. Without paint still lets too much light through
The guys in scrubninja's thread tried "z"s, but "z"s seriously cut the air flow. "V"s (right angle corner guards) worked better. I hope the "z"s work for you, voidling, but just saying. The thread over there is a long with one, with lots of guys trying different items...
