Fans and venillation

Hello everyone im about to start my first grow and im basically all set up in a nice 6x6 grow room where i plan to raise 4 plants.

The only thing i am having trouble with is ventilation and air flow. Im going to be using air ducting with fans to bring air flow in and out but im having some trouble picking a fan. Im looking for a cheapish but useful fan i can insert near/in/on/thru the ducting to create airflow.

I have no experience with wiring things so im looking for some sort of fan that requires little or no wiring.

I was looking at this http://www.hydrowholesale.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=hydro&Product_Code=736880&Category_Code=F

How is this product? will it be enough to extract air out of the grow room? Can anyone recommend good fans for bringing and taking out air and how to go about this?

Thanks in advance, mike.

Thank you for the info. Would a normal desktop fan suffice for bringing air in? and using one of there fans to extract the air out through a carbon filter?

Or do i need to cough it up and buy 2 inline fans.

Also does anyone else know some other places to buy air flow fans aswell? i like to shop around.

mike if i were in your shoe i would get better lighting, cfl will work but you wont get the grow that a hps or m/h light will give.
