Broken Gamecube- Can I use the fan for an amp?

To be honest, yes.

Your prebuilt amp will already have enough airflow to keep it cool since the manufacturer doesn't want half of their shipments coming back dead.

 

Hi.

I've done such things quite a bit and they're not that hard, recycling stuff is always considered environmentally friendly, but there's a few things to consider.

Mainly this:

While poking around in the gamecube's internals is safe as long as it's not connected to the wall, the same CAN NOT be said about the V-4.

I'd also be surprized if the GC's fan was a line voltage model, they're usually 12V fans. That would mean installing a 12V transformer just to power the fan. Not worth it IMHO.

V4's run fine as they are.

 

If you get a rubbermaid tub, a 150W HPS security light, a pyrex baking tube, a dual outlet aquarium pump, some 4" dryer ducting, some perlite, and some general hydro nutrient solution you could use it to have a closet fulla "tomatoes"




So I've heard anyway...

 

You should throw it in your old parts that you'll never use box. Just in case...
