Only problem with the Coralife fans is that they are expensive. I have one and it work well, but not the quietest fan either.

When you buy PC fans...go for a decent one, like a stealth or something similar and you will be glad for the lack of noise.

Now as for wiring them...I recommend a variable voltage adapter (the larger things that plug in to the wall, lol) That way you can control how fast they go and how loud they are.

When you go to wire it, you clip the 3 or 4 pin plug off the fan first. You should have 2 wires left (usually a red and a black) If you have 3 wires...then you usually have a blue one and that is for temperature...you can clip it at the fan as it's not needed. When you clip the adapter you will have a black and a white wire...the white goes with the red and the black sticks with black. Use Mar-connectors as they are easy and safe.

Oh, a good place to get variable voltage adapters is sometimes at dollar stores (that aren't really a $1) otherwise The Source by Circuit city will rob you blind.


Hopefully that makes sense. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
