A while back I ordered a thermoengine HSF, with a 7k rpm Delta fan. The cooling was great, but the damn fan was as loud as a hairdryer! So I ripped it off and hadn't used it since. But it seemed like a waste of a 10$ fan, so I came up with the idea of putting its incredible sucking power to make a ghetto vacuum cleaner!
The before picture of my floor,
with tons of little bits of styrofoam crap
I attached a bag onto the delta,
reasonably airtight, and poked some small holes at the top of the bag so
air could flow out but styrofoam couldn't. I also extended the wires with
more wire.

Much cleaner! The delta vacuum
cleaner sucks harder than Jenna Jameson!
Actually, this mod should be in fuxx0red mods because it was initially meant to be a hovercraft. The styrofoam on the floor is from the body I was carving out. The fan wasnt powerful enough to lift its own weight so I salvaged the mod by making this dumb cleaner instead.
