Hey Buddzy,
Noctua NF-P12 120mm
These babies may not be the absolute cheapest, but they are the absolute BEST that will last you as long as you need them. They pull about 54-55 cfm @ 1300rpm and are the QUIETEST fans you can get on the market today. Given the legal standing of our interests here on RIU, noise is surely a concern.
The price ranges from $15-$19 CAD @ many online retailers.
Check out a review: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/3792-noctua-nf-p12-120mm-fan-review.html
I just put two of these on my Prolimatech Megahalems Heatsink to cool my OCed 920 i7 and they're great
Also check out CoolerMaster Excalibur. It has a higher CFM of 85.6 @ 2000rpm which may be a better option for you.
MASSCOOL FD12025B1M3/4 120 x 120 x 25mm Case Fan - 96 cfm
Silverstone SST-FMC3XW - 103.5 cfm @ 3000rpm
I don't know, I could go on and on, but check out newgg.com, tigerdirect.com etc. You'll find one GL!
Check this out for sure: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999344 114cfm @ 2400rpm <---
Delta TFB1212GHE 120x38mm Extreme High Speed - 220.01cfm @ 4600rpm... if you want to go hardcore, don't think its too expensive.. 27 USD @ http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/de12tfexhisp.html
check all these Delta's at NCIX.com. They seem to be the highest cfm : http://www.ncix.com/search/?categoryid=0&q=delta

No probs But check the Delta fans out. They seem to be the highest cfm and may be what you're looking for.

you can find fans at your local office max. try radio shack. maybe check good will for old computers. then salvage the fan.

You're cfm requirements depend on your grow space ultimately. Find the cubic area of your space and make sure that amount is exchanged every 1-5 times per minute (as a rule of thumb).
Say your area is (LxWxH) 5ftx5ftx5ft = 125 cubic feet. You need a fan with 125 cfm AT LEAST. In this case, you could use a fan with 125-625cfm. But remember, the higher the better

If your space is 148cf or less these should do you fine IMO. Take into consideration your temperatures as well. In an environment that's too hot, higher cfm fans will help to exchange larger amounts of the hot air. With your 150HPS you shouldn't have too much trouble I hope.
