Preventing Boot Stench

I came up with a way to use some spare computer parts to dry my boots and prevent boot stench. :-) It takes about 4 hours to get them fully dry, but the fans are very quiet when running and easily stow away when not being used. I figured it was a good idea and wanted to share, so all you other wakeboarding computer nerds can make your own boot dryers. If you have access to the parts, it is much cheaper than commercial boot dryers.

Recipe:
2 3" computer fans
4 3" fan guards
2 wire nuts
1 12v by 1 Amp power supply

I'll have to try this. One big downside to the system boots is that they typically get tossed in dry storage and forgotten, then they reak
