all this quietness is great but what kinda flow do they have, I was not impressed with the panflo's output from what I could tell on there site.

Try: www.bigfootcomputers.com

For another source of computer fans. Maybe get one of those aluminum fans... it would look pretty snazzy . I used to run one on the heatsink of an older computer of mine... if it can cool down a cpu to decent temperatures, it'll do just fine on a canopy setup

What kind of CFM are your requirements?

By the way, any suggestions on how I can cleanly connect a computer fan to a power cord and what kind of cord I should get and where?

well they aren’t going to start a windstorm but they will move air. the point of the panaflo is they are relatively quiet will still moving a decent amount of air. trust me you can get fans that move much more air but you don't want to be in the same room with them. im not talking about room fans either a delta cpu fan can drive you insane if you have to sit next to it!

i have a big bastard of a fan i have mounted in the back of my hood that i flip on sometimes when im heading out of the house. its a scary number that would decimate the produce section at save on foods in about 3 seconds. i can triple my evap with this baby but i can't have it running while im in the house.

I get a lot of CFM out of my fans, about 150 cfm I think. but they are quieter then my skimmer so I don't realy notice them at all.
