A while back I was complaining that there were no fans to buy for the Vforce. Manike then linked me up to one of his previous posts on rigging a Vforce with two computer fans (25 mm each). I copied his idea and I can now say that it works like a dream and is extremely easy to do!
He rigged his by using a JT visor instead of the Vforce visor. It is, however, entirely possible to use the Vforce visor with fans (they fit perfectly between the pieces that hold the fan in place). Had to do some slight cutting of the piece in front of the forehead to get the fans to fit in place but no other adjustments were necessary. Used zip ties to hold the fans and battery unit in place.
Anyone thinking of this SHOULD do it. I love my Vforce but had to give it up as it would start fogging up while playing in big games. Played in one today, however, and it did not fog up. I have the one fan pushing air in and one fan pushing air out (copied Manike's design) and that seem to work great. I do not know how other configurations will work. Anyways this is a home made upgrade I'd recommend anyone with a Vforce to do! Below is the link to Manike's thread if anyone else wants ideas.
