PFO fans

Anyone used the PFO fans? For $35 w/wiring they seem like a good deal.

I'm wondering about noise...?

Those will be noisy. They are unregulated. They however I think they are AC so will plug right into a wall socket.

those are allso about twice the price. go to your local electronics store or electrical wholesaler.

computer store $10 for 2 4" fans
value village $2 for old alarm clock = power supply
$12 = cool tank = happy reefer

I have 2 running on my system, they came with my retrofit kit. They are large and powerful. Simple plug and play off of ac power. I do agree that you can probably find cheaper but these work great.

I guess I was looking for simple solution. I had thought about using a power supply from a computer, but I didn't relly want another bulky item. I'll look into 120v fans from Princess Auto...

You can buy 120VAC --> 12 VDC transformers from Princess Auto. I bought some a little while ago and they were about $3 each. You can hook these up direct to the 12VDC computer fans.

Or I should say the 120mm size

Good feedback on the noise level too

Yup I bought the 4" 3/4 fans from the same ebayer. Great fans work well not too loud, just plug and play. great service too.

Keep it simple stupid and that's what I did....... well at least with the fans.

can't go wrong with these guys. I went to radio shack and it would have cost me double to get one fan ( and it didn't come with anything ) than it would have to get 2 fans and the ac adapter and cable etc from this ebayer.

Good deal IMO.
