Default computer fans
I've got a wooden box that a friend made and is giving me. I'm going to cfl it up and use it keep a mother in.

I want to use some computer type fans for intake/outtake. The problem is I don't know what to buy for these type of fans. Anyone willing to provide a link to point me in a direction?

I dont have the exact dimensions for the box at the moment, so i can't answer that.
Any help appreciated. I tried the search function but didn't find an answer

go to radio shack, make sure it's a/c, not d/c. or get online and do the same, pretty much any will work, doesn't take much to cool cfls and ventilation for one plant will be minimal.

one fan bowing out and a hole for an intake will do just fine. (think attic fan)

happy growing!!

Radio shack is a rip. I'd suggest online. I have 3 fans in my box. but i have a 100 watt MH. Also, powering the fans, most likely 12 volts. Go raid the house for old ac adapters and get some scissors and tape. (look into wiring parallel, allowing multiple fans to share the same adapter and still run as if they were by themselves.

I heard a simple solution and I use it, normal Nokia chargers are 12v DC and the computer fans are the same so just wire one to one and the other to the other, if it doesn't work disconnect and swap, for more than one fan connect them using a parallel wiring as said above (google parallel wiring if you don't know what it is), go to a local pc store you know the ones owned by randoms that will help you put a computer together and only take a few bucks profit each customer, fans will only cost $5-$10 at max and that is in AUS. Most people have a spare phone charger around if not most electrical stores have them.

Johnny.
