Fan/Ventilation Question

[Justin Incredible]

I have heard people say they use PC cooling fans to ventilate there closet/box grows. My question is how do you power them because they obviously they dont go straight into the mains???

ANy helps would be great.

If there is another type of small fan that could be used share your thoughts

Cheers for any help.

You can buy horticultural DC fans that have standard outlet cords, or perhaps buy an adapter with the proper volts and wire that up to the fan.

dont mind about price but need to be pretty small and quiet.

I have two of those, been working great for some months now, no probs. I tried computer fans first, fried two of them, then scrapped that idea. *snicker*

What I did was buy a little (88 cfm) computer fan. I had an old 11V cell phone adaptor already. I took the red and the black wires from the fan and spliced 'em to the adaptor's wires. And it worked. But actually sometime I'm gonna get a stonger (150 cfm) fan and switch it out cause the one Ihave is a little weak. I've read of people running more than one fan of an adaptor. It has to do with the amps. I guess you just need to make sure you fans total would need less than the adaptor puts out. Hope this all helps.
