So here is what you should have going into the rest of the steps for this project. The tunnel created by the cd case should be ridged and the wires should be tight. The unit as a whole should feel solid.

Using the hot glue gun coat any externally exposed wires with a 1/8th inch layer of glue. Depending on the type of glue and the temperature of your glue gun it may be necessary to use a few layers to build up the necessary thickness. One way to speed up the process is to use a computer air duster upside down and spray the cold mist on the glue. Just don’t hurt your self doing this.One other note is that the mist it sprays out is flammable! Don’t spray an operational ion cooler or an open flame! Trust Me! But I am looking into an electrostatic jet engine project now!

Now we have things nicely insulated we will attach the emitter and collector wires from the power supply. This is a simple process and a drop of solder for the connections never hurts. Use ample hot glue to insulate the connections and any other externally exposed wires.

With the leads attached we will splice in the wires for the lights in the fan and the transformer to the wire lead we had left over from the fan. This is really simple, positive goes to positive and negative goes to negative. A little electrical tape and then I used some hot glue to attach it to the fan mounting bracket to keep it all nice and neat. at this point it would be smart to test the unit and make sure it works prior to installing it in the computer. we wouldent want to blow up the computer if we did somthing wrong...

So here is where we leave the norms of fan placement. We will be mounting the fan externally. So we will be using the screws internally to the case. This is simple but if you have a large CPU cooler it will likely obstruct access to the screws and you may have to uninstall it or use a stubby screw driver..
