    How do you Install more Fans?

    Pretty much the title says it all. I was wondering how you go about installing more fans. I have read that it is good to bring in cool air but you also want a fan blowing onto the heat sinks.

    Also another question. Do the Stepper Motors need cool air as well or can I in-case them as well?

    I used a couple of old computer fans, powered by an old computer power supply. Be sure to filter the incoming air!
