Switch Housingless Fans

[Josh]

Hey Dan, remember how I said that my grandpa used the switch housings off of his SMCs as wall switches? Well, I was browsing on eBay and found an auction for what looks like an SMC that is this way. Here's the link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2386404856&category=20699 Boy, the memories came flooding back when I saw those pictures! :-)
P.S. I don't know whether this post belongs here or on the "What's on eBay This Week" forum. I'm just using the pics as an example.

Yes that's an SMC. I dont know what it is with people taking the switch housings off . . .

Neither do I. We get in some fans with switch hosings decapitated off the fan. Often times those fans end up in the free pile or trash.

It's a shame when they're really nice fans . . . what fans do you normally find like that?
