Default Fans for DIY hood

Fire resistant, Fire retardant treated, etc. Its fireproof for 30 minutes. [img]smile.gif[/img] From what I read on their website, there was no signs of combustion after 30 minutes. It has a flame spread index of 15 which is the same as gypsum wallboard. So that's pretty good.

I did think about the chemical issue. But I'll seal it with several coats of paint.

Yes, it is a bit pricier than normal wood. But I already have some left over so I may as well use it.

The fans from Icecap are like $60 so I'm hoping to get a better deal elsewhere. What makes them so expensive?

Oh, I'm reading through some old posts now about fans. I see some from Radio Shack and Computer stores. I'm not a DIY'er so I don't know what I'm doing. [img]smile.gif[/img] Can I wire the fans up to the switch on my retro kit?
