1 little, low peripheral seems right.

From fans?

Without the ICs I'd say low grade, that's what made me go with midgrade

I might be crazy lol but when i run out of stuff to scrap i pop the I.Cs off with a wood chisel. A little pressure and they come right off. My yard takes the fans as electric motors if I break the fins off.

I did find a bigger fan set from an old telecom system box. Cast aluminum housing and each fan had multipe ics and 4 gold plated mosfets.
