Description
This is the missing lower piece to a 70m Nexus fan mod for the OG Xbox.
It goes at the bottom and fills in the 2 holes, then the other mount holds the fan over it.
The 70mm Nexus fan mod is here:

The 40 Noctua fan mount is here:

I used the screws from the 40mm fan to hold the 70mm Nexus fan in the mount and the rubber mounts to hold the 40mm in its mount.
I run a custom bios named Cerbios and I use it to set the fan speed to 40%, it keeps the OG Xbox at about the same temp as the original fan but much quieter and uses a .ini file to set the bios options (like fan speed) instead of needing to flash the bios every time I want to make a change.
