check home depot for fans too. a duct booster moves way more air than a comp fan and its about the same price. unless you already got them. comp fans prob. don't move more than 20-30 cfm where as duct boosters move like 150cfm. 20-30 cfm @ $8 + wiring which is at least $2 each. to move 150cfm you would need 6 of em if they move 25cfm that 6 x $10 ($8+$2) = $60. I bought my booster for $25 plus they sell the plus that you can wire straight to the fan to plug em into the wall for like $9. you could get almost two actual fans for the same price.

hmm thats intresting ima have to take ur advice and find out more about it when i go to home depot...but also im taking into consideration when i buy is how much heat my lights are putting off my temp stays between 82-84 so i dont need a huge fan just something that can drop it to about 75 constantly

do you have a cool tube? if you did you could just get the two like i said and run one as an intake and one as an exhaust then some a carbon filter somewhere along the way and then that will eliminate them smell. trust me you light can't ever be too cold. the cooler it is the closer to the plants which means denser buds. hell you going to have to get an air scrubber eventually. you could get a whole intake and exhasut system with a scrubber for under like $100 and its going to be way easier than wiring and mounting 10 computer fans. Also how big is your grow space? my closet it is 108 cubic feet a 20-30 cfm fan would not do shit to lower my temps lol.
