Hello, I have been wanting to do this small project for a while, but i dont know enough to get started. I'll explain my situation first. I have a ps3 which is housed in my entertainment center, the problem is my entertainment center has little cubbies with doors on all of them which obviously would cause my ps3 to overheat if left closed.
What I would like to do is install 2 pc fans in one of the cubbies, one intake/one exhaust. My problems is i dont want them to be powered by the ps3 as i dont feel comfortable with the extra draw. Now on to my main point. Is there a way that the fans could be powered by AC however turned on and off using the usb power from the ps3? So when the ps3 is turned on, it would sence the usb power and switch the fans on.
It sounds like something doable, i just dont know where to get started on this.
Thanks
