Just a tip for the thrifty grower.
I have saw a lot of post from people wanting to use PC fans for air movement. Before you spend a bunch of cash and want to try something cheap get one of those AC power adapters with the multi volt switch. Here is a ebay link of what I am talking about. I am sure walmart and target carry them also.

Don't use a phone charger, not enough voltage. The multi adapter you can play with the slide switch to get the speed ya want. Plus they are under $10
Also check yardsales, the goodwill and shit, you can pick them up for $1. Just stay in the 9-12 range and look ath the amp output. I am running 4 80mm case fans on a 12v 1amp adapter from a laptop, in my bud dryer project. (pics coming soon)
Hope this helps someone. Feel free to add any more PC fan related tips or experiments.
