ok so im new to growing and made a tiny grow box from and old speaker box. i have had no airflow at all on my plant the last 6 weeks and is now in flowering stage and has already showed me her little pistels (so pumpped) i recently bought 2 80mm 12vdc fans on ebay but i still have no idea how to get power to them. i have no electrician skills so if some1 could take the time to step by step tell me how to do it, it would be greatly appreciated

Hey bud, i just hooked 2 pc fans up myself. (One is exhaust (w/passive intake) and one is blowing on the babies.) :hump:

I power both with an extra Antec 500W PSU (from an older PC build of mine.).

I wanted to try the cell phone charger route too, i found 6 of 'em upstairs but they were all 5v (i think the method calls for 12v as the fans are 12v?).

Can you get your hands on a PSU?

Good luck... bongsmilie

EDIT: I don't feel comfortable linking other sites lol, but you'll get a simple step by step guide if you google the following "Detailed Tutorial: How to power PC fans with a computer power"
