just my 2 cents but someone a page back asked about what you used to power your pc fans, The best thing i've ever found is just and old CPU power supply, call used computer stores or most people have old CPUs laying around, open em up and grab the power supply, they plug right into the wall. and the provide more then enough power. i got mine for 10 bucks from a used computer places, and its a little compact one too

Or you can do what I did: just get an old powercord that has the block looking plug at the outlet end, cut the end off that plugs into it's respective device, and splice that with the wires to the pc fan. works like a charm. Everyone says look for one rated at 12v, but I personally, for some reason, didn't have a 12v, so I'm using 9v. No issues.

This way you don't have the bulky power supply in the growspace, and it plugs directly into an outlet like a regular fan.

ya thats what i tried first, but they dont handle much power really, my blew after 30 min with the fans on, 4 120mm fans and they are 157cfm each and use like 16w each i think so ya its hard to find those little plug ins that have enough power
