Calling out to Weezard for LED advice
Fired up all the lights, no fans. Passive cooling only. Within half an hour the temp of the sink, measured behind an LED, was pushing 120 deg F., so I connected the fans. (These are Zalman ZM-F2, which are 2500 RPM @ 12V. Pretty quiet, just $5 each.) I've got 'em wired to a 9V wall wart, so they're really just loafing.
I watched the temperature drop back down to ~100 deg F. in 10-15 seconds. It was like you dipped the thermometer in cool water. :thumbsup:

Right now I've got just one fan running. They're kinda mounted diagonally, and I've got the thermometer as far away from the fan as possible, and right behind an LED--a worst-case scenario. Temp's are holding right at 100 deg F. with just the one fan running @ 9V.

Probably the way to do this is wire the second fan to a thermal switch on a separate power supply as a backup.
