Other than computer fans what kind of fans do you guys use to cool your hoods and where did you get them?

I use 120 volt fans from princess auto. They are 4" fans at 15.99 each they sometimes go on sale for $9.99. I have two being built into my new aquarium canopy and I have two installed in my old 48" hood.

You can plug them in the wall but you have to wire them yourself. This is very easy to do if you are a DIY type of person. if you need a pic send me your e mail adress.

I thought I was a diy guy untill I hooked my computer fan up to an adapter and now I have two blown adapters. I thought it was pretty simple to hook up two wires but hey,who knows. I think the fan must be faulty or something because come on positive and negative how hard is that?

I got that during the summer though. Maybe its too early in the year still? I got it at the Calgary Trail location. You can also hit Walmart. I think they sell those there as well.
