Here's to soapy water on my slope...

Here are the latest updates:

Bought a fan for the bottom of the Vino this week. It is an 80mm fan, with built-in fan speed control knob, that comes with the adapter to run it USB. I found it on Amazon for $7 and it can be used in conjunction with a wallplug to usb adapter (the kind most phones come with nowadays). I drilled out the plug (it is an offset drain hole in the bottom of Vinos which means S-shaped), ran the cord in, used a bit of expanding foam to seal, and then patched both the bottom and top of the opening with plastic packing tape to seal the foam up while drying.

When starting this project, I had to remove the old duct tape that the previous owner had used to seal the drain. Upon further inspection, I noticed a few spots of mold growing on the fibers that run through the tape. I removed it, and scrubbed the vino well, and dryed it out. After 12 hours, I installed the fan and foam, waited another 12 hours, and put my stogies back in. So, if you are doing something similiar in the future, please do not use Duct Tape or any tape that is porous or made of a fabric material as it will mold.

Here are a few pics of the project:

Just in case you wanted to see the fan for yourself on Amazon, here is the link. I highly recommend it so far, as it has fan guards on both sides of the fan blade, and also has a nice little metal stand which I bend and configured so that the fan would blow upwards rather than to the side.
