computer fans

[bigfish93]

I've heard of a lot of people using computer fans to cool off their canopies. My question is, how do you plug the computer fans in?

I went the same route and purchased the following:

CG 110v AC to 12v DC Power Supply with 4 Pin Molex (2000mA)
Petra's Tech Shop

This should give you an idea of what would be needed.

What, no fan speed controller <g>

thanks innovator. I didn't know they made those.

I didn't bother with a controller. I used 4 fans (only needed 3 in retrospect) that run as long as the lights are on. I'm not sure it was more of a hassle or not than purchasing standard IceCap fans.

lol I had a couple extra adapters and just rewired it directly to two 120mm fans and taped them up good with electrical tape. Not really recommended.

Not sure the temperture probes on that controler are meant for salt water.
