I'm looking for a special 120mm axial 115VAC fan that has high amps and pressure ratings for an experiment of mine. So far, all I've found is high amp and pressure 12VDC fans. I'm wondering why I can't find the same in a 115VAC fan? Any good sources out there? Thanks

kjb,
depends on what you call a computer. There are some that would still need high volume air or other cooling.
BBB,
My first touch was an IBM 1401 and writing "penny a day" in machine language to get the full program on a single card. Smallest 1401 had 1.4K of memory IIRC and was the size of 2 large refrigerators back to back. The "PAD" machine was 16K (4 refrigerators)with 2 30/30 disk drives the size of washing machines. This was 1962. There were older ones still floating around but I didn't get closer that looking at them. The printers were something else, impact at 1100 LPM at 132 characters. Would make you deaf.

All I've got to say is I am just so stinking happy we aren't still dealing with computers like THAT! I couldn't imagine "swapping out" a hard drive in a system like that. [shock]
Sounds like you'd need to have a "spare" forklift to manage that sort of equipment... though I WILL say that driving forklifts are fun, so driving/working that wouldn't be the problem - getting one, and storing it would be the problem (for me).![[wink]](/data/assets/smilies/wink.gif "[wink] [wink]")

Burnham Van Lines took care of the moving. Although the drives were the size of washing machines they were not that heavy. There were no drive swaps except for really major issues. Head swaps and platter swaps were common. IIRC the heads were about 1" by 1" with a bevel on the lift side.
I ended up with a drive cabinet. I mounted a table saw on it.
I haven't been in a major data center for a while. Know there are still big ones being produced, Jaguar at Oak Ridge, for instance, but don't know the physical size.

Oh, do you know the muffin fan,
The muffin fan, the muffin fan,

I honestly do not know what the high schools teach today.
The power in watts is I X V
or current times voltage
example a fan uses 5 amps at 5 volts that's 5 X 5 or 25 Watt
example 110 volts at .23 amps that's 25.3 watts
The amperage or the current by itself means nothing at all, it has to be a combination of both.
Go back to school.
Best regards
Jurgen
