Im ordering parts for my first GDemu build. Im planning to do the Noctua fan mod but i hate that brown/tan color. Is there an equivalent to the NF-A4x10 5V in black?
Thanks
Edit: As to not make another thread thought id ask acouple more things on this post.
-Is there somebody that makes custom color lid stickers for the DC? Would be cool to get a black background with lime green swirl.
-SD card recommendations, something i can get off amazon

Re: Black Noctua Fan
I would just use some model paint if you hate the color, I think it's a very handsome color and matches the cream cast color

Re: Black Noctua Fan
There's plenty of 40mm 5v fans around, but they're not Noctua's so will probably be noisier. Having said that, pretty much any new fan will be better than the stock one.
I'm not really a fan of the brown colouring either (no pun intended), but you don't see the fan once the case is on and I'd much rather a quieter console.

Re: Black Noctua Fan
Noctua has the industrial/chromax series with black fans, this includes a 40mm in black (although not listed at https://noctua.at/en/products/fan), but I don't know how you can get your hands on them. Prusa used to have them as hotend fans but I guess they can't acquire them anymore (supply issues?) since it seems it's been swapped out for a louder Delta (according to comments, https://www.prusa3d.com/product/hotend-fan/).

Re: Black Noctua Fan
I would love to see a solid state cooling solution, maybe a clip on copper plate that slips under the GDROM or GDEMU

Re: Black Noctua Fan
I'm getting my Noctua fan and kit today, and I'm excited to install it? I don't know if the color makes much of a difference, especially since it needs the adjacent piece to move the air out the vent on the side (got mine in orange).

Re: Black Noctua Fan
Ok, so i do have some black vinyl spray paint that i can use on the Noctua fan. I just plan to give it a light spray. I will also be sure to avoid bearings when spraying.
Just seeing that brown color gets on my nerves. Im installing it in one of the china transparent shells. Decided to go with that mountaindew green.
My GDemu came in over the weekend now i just have to wait for this case to come in plus my PSU recap kit.
Next thing i need to do is look into what SD card(s) i should scoop up from amazon.

As to not create another thread unless i have to.
Is there somebody that makes custom color lid stickers for the DC?
Would be cool to get a black background with lime green swirl.
Also could somebody recommend some SD cards.
Thanks
