![]() I did the same thing as your thinking... picked up 2 of the smallest fans available at memory express and hooked them into an AT power supply box that I had from a really old computer. Threw on a cheap timer and away I went. Worked well for my 10gal nano that I had running. I drilled 2 holes in the canopy on either end for the fans and reversed one fan so one side was sucking in air and the other was blowing it out.
Works like a charm.

![]() you can mod an ATX power supply by jumping out two wires on the 24Pin plug, i cant remember which ones but i have done it before, but you are better off just buying a 12VDC adaptor like the ones that come with cordless phones etc,
i would give you one if you lived close to me as i have over 100 at work that we usually donate to schools. you can even buy variable adaptors that you could use to slow the fan down, they are only $20 at circuit city and come with a range of plugs, The best computer fans i have found are SilenX they can be tricky to find but NCIX carries them, by far the quietest fan i have ever used. |
