Computer fans ~ 220cfm

[mr.red]

Hey everyone,

I recently moved and lost my lovely large growing area.

I am now stuck cramming things in a small space.

I was looking around for a decent exhaust fan and I found this

I have never set up a computer fan but would this be any different than the whole hooking it up to a 12v dc adapter thing?

220cfm for 25 bucks seems an amazing deal

+rep for any help

iwas wondering if those could be used i have a shitload of those lying around, the only problem is how many wires are connected to those damn things and i dont wanna fuck up what i do have, if anyone lets ya know , you should tell me too

i did the same thing, you just have to make sure that your 12v adapter has enough amperage to power the fan(s) i'd go with a 1amp 12v adapter, then you can have 4x .25amp fans running or 2x .50amp fans.

and make sure you hook the wires up together...

this is the thread that i used

Hey thanks for the info

I plan on having three of these working at once

I never have had to do any venting before since i had an entire bedroom to use in the last house

any info on how you would set these up?

i was thinking of adapting them to work inline

but am not sure yet

no it has to be a 12v adapter.

you would need some kind of fresh air venting to the box, i used a 4" drill bit for making circular holes, mounted my fan directly on the hole, and then attached a dryer hose to the outside. which sucks air in from the other side of my room. ill try get some pics up so you can see.
