Nifty find for the ultimate DIY stirplate
    #5589397 - 05/04/06 09:32 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Check  this out.  Its a CPU fan speed controller, with RPM meter and temperature monitor!  Only $20 bucks.  Its meant for a computer, but I figure since we're using CPU fans anyway why not work with a fan controller? :smile:

I realize its totally overkill and when you start buying $20 parts you're defeating the purpose of the el cheapo DIY stirrer... but I'm thinking a nice ABS project box, with two fan-stirrers inside, take that controller thing apart to re-mount the dials and LCD on the project box, and voila, a professional looking dual stir-plate with independent controls, temp monitor, and RPM guage... should still come in at around $30-35 total because I have access to a room full of broken computers to pick fans and magnets from :smile:  :thumbup: :thumbup:

...just picked up a corning pc-353 for less than 35 shipped off ebay.
why would you need more than 1 lc going at once? One pint of LC is plenty enough.. you'd never be able to eat all those shitakes anyway!

what if i like shitake, and portebella, and reishi? :smile:

its a good point though and like i said is overkill and no longer cost effective... but part of the fun is building things, im an engineer, what can i say? :smile:
