Canopy fan recommendations?
 

Can anybody recommend a good high flow, quiet fan for my canopy? Mine is way too loud. Thought I'd check with u guys first so I don't end up buying another loud fan.

Perhaps a model# and where u bought it?

Thanks in advance :smile:

Jack Has a really quite one he got at Radio Shack. Way cheeper that the Ice Cap I purchased.

I've heard some of the Radio Schack ones and they are pretty good. I'm not sure if they come with their own power supply or if they have to be wired at all though.

I purchased my Icecap variable speed fans and could not be happier. I have yet to have seen a fan that matches it for quality...By the same token, I never went out and looked :lol: !

For me, having the tank in the living room, the spousal unit was not going to stand for more noise than we already have, and I have a laziness factor to contend with as well. All these added up to plug and play fans from Icecap!

FWIW,

NB, the Icecap fans are now available for $70 plus taxes from J&L. I have also seen them on ebay but with no real savings.

Yeeouch...that's alot for a fan. Maybe I'll try Radio Shack. Does anyone know if they are Radio Shack brand fans?

If you go to RS and purchase a fan, let us know what you got and the results.. i'm interested in hooking one up in my canopy.

I bought my fans from this guy on ebay, and I absolutely love it. Excellent quality quiet fan with german powersupply.

Check at Quayle electronics on Burnside. Lots of fans to choose from under $25. For PC lighting, one of the smaller ones would work fine.

I have fans similar to the ones Quayle electronics sells. They are from the inside of traffic controllers. I was going to use them for my canopy but I have not seen the need yet. I am not sure the rating of these fans but the amount of air they move is pretty impressive. I will let them go for $15 each.

Send me a PM if interested

I had a couple of radioshack fans on my old canopy. They're about $35 each and are don't come with a power supply or anything. They were pretty quiet. I took them off the old canopy last night and I think I'm going to install them on my new hood. The little computer ones I have on there aren't that great.

I think it was these ones? (my dad bought them and installed them)
