Default fan?

I am trying to find a small, but powerfull fan for my in-cabinet sump. There are lots of 6" cheapo fans at walmart, canadian tire, etc. but I still find these too bulky and noisy. I have wired up a couple 5' computer fans but they are really pretty wimpy. Anyone know where I can get the perfect fan?

Try the Hydropnics stores they have fans much like the one found in light hoods for approx $20.00.

I use RadioShack fans. Pretty cheap and reliable. I uses a few "273-242" (prod number) its a 4" 120vac fan. Open blades, so you have to be careful with it. I got sliced up pretty bad by it just the other day... Sigh.

Ditto on the radioshack/the source fans. I have 2 in my canopy, and they do a great job... every month I turn them off, take them off, and clean the salt build up off them, so they are whisper quiet again,

Thanks for the tips - I'll checkout Radio Shack and the local grow-op shops here in Victoria.
