For my first grow I selected RUCK Temperature Controlled Fan 150-L 700m3 : http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/Growroom-Products-20/-In-Line-Fans-Fan-Filter-Deals-108/RUCK-Temperature-Controlled-Fans-1250.asp (700m3 version)
I read reviews of it and I like the feature of automatic temperature control. Also it requires a lot less wiring and would be cheaper than buying a separate temp control unit.
But now I am worried it might be too loud. I never saw/heard one yet.
My grow will be: 4'x5'x6'- (120cf) 600W (+ maybe 600W in the last week of flowering)
I could place the fan either in my bedroom or else outside (where my neighbours might hear it). I understand that either of these fans would be too powerful for 120cf but the weaker ones are barely cheaper and it seems like a good idea to invest in a good piece of equipment that I might use in later and bigger grows. I have all the options of circulating the air within the house, drawing it from the bedroom and blowing it outside or the other way around. I also thought of plugging the fan in a timer so that it switches on and off when needed.
(Also, since I might add a second 600W bulb for the last few weeks of flowering, extra power seems like a good idea.)
As an alternative I picked the Acoustic Fan (either size): http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/Growroom-Products-20/-In-Line-Fans-Fan-Filter-Deals-108/Acoustic-fan-1285.asp
Which I beilieve would be fine in the bedroom or outside but it has no thermostat, a feature Id really like to have (particularly since the fan is too powerful).
Both fans cost roughly the same.
What do you think?
Anybody knows how loud these fans are? (compared to lets say a vacuum or a PC fan)

Do you mean the vacuum?
