Well I got an Amana Fridge for my next project. So Amana Grow Indica with this Refrigerator.
This is a first glance, and I haven't even got into it yet.

oooh nice!! So are you planning on two chambers or are you gonna get out the Sawsall and join the fridge and freezer sections into one space? From a hydro perspective wouldn't it be cool if you could keep the refrigeration portion working only in the lower section and use it to keep your water chilled?
I know you have a plan locked away in your brain...we wanna know what it is!!!!!!

Well I got the 4" holes cut for the fans. Those grates are a touch over 4" so I had to trim a bit for the fit I wanted. I cut a 4" collar in half and I'll Gorilla Glue once I'm sure it's how I want it. I won't use the center of that closest bar.
The fans are on the way too. You guys will love this. My buds might need to dry to Rave music, but you guys can give me your opinions. Taking into account I'm not a fan of Raves. Yea, this one will make sense as soon as Newegg comes through.

Wow all this is swEEt daniels!! Nice frig (sweet idea gamber bout the hydro!!). Just a heads up, I was in radioshack and they had I think a 120mm 60 or 70 cfm 20 db fan for under $20. Don't know if it would be useful to you or not, but may save from spending or waiting on shipping for some applications.
I imagine your whole house has the hum of 120mm DC fans!! You got 'em in everything.

Don't tell me you are getting a pink fan with multi-colored LED's.....oh the shame!!! the shame!!!
At least that's my guess.
Hey GB, he said Newegg.
I've used the Scythe 133cfm and 100cfm fans, same as Daniels. Both are under $10 with free shipping. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007998%2050002108%20600035655&IsNodeId=1&name=%3e80%20CFM and I've never had a Newegg order take more than 2 days to arrive (unless backordered). Best eCommerce site on the net!!!BTW that 133cfm fan plain ROCKS! Once I sandwich it into the 4" PVC it becomes quient instantly! Even though this fan is rated at 49dB, it's all white noise from air movement and no "whine" like a turbine.

Wow, that is some good service! I have used them to check specs because they have awesome filtering of their stock on their website! But no purchases! Most my fans I got from work. But I will keep up on newegg froM now on!
And the secret trick is, if you order in the morning the order will most likely ship that day. If you order in the afternoon, then checking the $2.95 box for expedited shipping will also get it out the door same day.

Hmmm I have the $20 A/C radio shack 65 cfm. When I put the 150 in I think I'll need something bigger. Are any of those fans A/C voltage?
There are but they'll be much more expensive. All you need is a standard ATX PC Power Supply. With ATX you have to jumper the "green" wire which goes to the Mother Board plug with one of the black ground wires which in essense put the power button in the permanent "on" position so the power supply comes on when you plug it in. The power supply will give you two different voltages. All black wires are ground, all yellow wires are 12v and all red wires are 5v.
You can get power supplies almost anywhere for free or near free from family recycle centers, Goodwill tech stores, etc. I believe that Volts x Amps gives you Watts. My 133cfm fan runs .7 amps on the 12v rail for a total of 8 Watts. This means I should be able to run just under 30 of these fans on one 250W Power Supply!!
Lastly, I opened up the PS and cut back all of the other wires that I didn't need and capped them off (making sure to keep the green and black wires connected). Also there are some capacitors inside the PS. Make sure you unplug it and let it sit for about 5 minutes before working inside. Here's a shot of my PS with one set of wires coming out. All the rest are cut back and capped off.

Well if I use parts on hand I could use a 12 a/c transformer hooked to a dc rectifier with a rheostat for speed control.
Then I could buy a high cfm fan and turn it down a bit and accomplish two things.
The fan will run quieter and last longer.

Just make sure you aren't over complicating things, adding heat, or going beyond the Watt/Amp/Volt ratings you should be good! I have a couple of 4-dial fan controllers lying around that I hope to need to wire in!
(oh to have problems being too cold!) Realize though, a free/cheap PC power supply is going to have all the right plugs that match those fans you will be ordering rather than having to cut and splice 16/18g wire.But then again for $9, free shipping and 133cfm with great static pressure, you could burn one out every 6 months and still be ahead of the game over the 125cfm inline blowers I've seen for $100!!!
Beside's it looks way cool when you have a bunch of fans come out of that brown cardboard box!!

Wiring is easy I do it all day at work. I have a storage in my cab for transformers and anything else that heats up.
I don't think my 65 cfm's can handle the 150w hps with supplement cfl's. Right now I have 70w hps and 135w cfl's and it does fine.
Not sure what you're trying to say with the red neck writing or the brown cardboard box with fans coming out of it?
LOL, It was trying to be British!!
Rain in Spain....Definitely wasn't poking fun at you. I was just agreeing with your conclusions. I'm in a whacky mood today and just trying to have fun.
And the brown box is what NewEgg sends the fans in...it's like Christmas especially when you order 10 at once!
Cheers and peace

I think we get shit a bunch for using these comp fans.
At least I've tried to tell people how good mine works, and I hear how it isn't as good as ???I've checked yours out and I think a 150W will get worked with one of the 135 cfm 120mm's we like.
I got some work done for curbing getting laid soon. Needed burmed (sp?) to look right. I glued the Dry Boxes, and I'm gonna go work on cleaning the Amana.
