Just pulled the impeller housing apart (At least I think that's what it's called). You know the big 2 piece doohickey that bolts onto the end of the motor that the fan sits in. The inside of mine is really rough and cratered like a bad junior high aluminum casting project. The outside looks good. Is it just the way they are made or should the inside be as smooth as the outside?

QUOTE(Headrage @ Nov 14 2004, 07:36 PM) Is it just the way they are made or should the inside be as smooth as the outside? that's the way they are made ... you can actually increase the air-flow (and thus cooling) by making that surface smooth. some people even powder-coat the inside ...
