Hi modders
I figure you guys will know how to answer this question the best.
I have a bunch of extra computer fans (maybe 4 or 5) that I want to use to vent a warm entertainment cabinet with many sections. I want to be able to close the doors to the cabinet but still vent fresh air in and exhaust air out. It gets really hot in there with the doors shut.
What would be the easiest way to get power to these fans? I don't really need much wattage to run them so the more energy efficient the better.
Can I re-wire the fans to run off of a regular wall jack or connect them to some low-watt power source that has a regular wall plug??? I don't really want to throw a 200watt computer PSU in there when it isn't necessary.
Thanks for your creative solutions that are hopfully coming!
