fpd4308 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I need to buy some sort of fans for my canopy so if anyone has any I would be interested? Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Doug, check with some of the computer parts places, those computer fans work great for canopy fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulls_and_sparrows Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Newegg.com has a huge selection! They also sell an adapter that you plug the fans into and then it plugs into the wall so no hassle. I bought four huge 220mm fans that move some massive error and are dead quiet.

k9flash Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Staples has em for like 10 bucks, depending on what size you want. You just have to wire them into a power supply which is pretty easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I just threw away like three or four that I have had laying around for years. They still worked just needed cleaned up. That sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finch6013 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 No. Usually they will be low voltage or you can get ones that are 120V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9flash Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Just find an old power supply from a charger or something you dont use anymore. You just need to find one that has 12V output. If you dont have one you can pick up universal ones from Wal-mart or some other store. Just make sure they say 12V output. You can then snip off the connectors and wire nut them to the fans. Works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowman Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Doug I have some. They are older than God, but they should still work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Old laptop bricks work great for running PC fans. Some old phone chargers work also but you need to check the voltage first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
