Default Canopy/Stand Exhaust Fan?

Hey,

I have just skinned by stand with maple 3/4 and it will be held together via rare earth magnets. However with it almost being a completely closed box I want to exhaust the humidity out one of the sides.

Want type of fans have you guys used for this? I know basic computer fans but they're all 3/4 pin connectors and I don't feel comfortable converting to USB and having it in a closed box connected to a wall socket. Just makes me feel like its a disaster waiting to happen.

It doesn't have to be huge 12'' I would think is way way way over kill. I would think that a 200mm fan would be more then enough.

Anyways I would like to hear what others have done for venting on there canopies and stands.

Thanks.

If you just type "Fan" into the search box on JL, you will have several options come up for your consideration.

Haha yeah, thanks for the reply I was looking for a fan someone is currently using and judging from there if it works or they find it doesn't and they need more fans.

I guess I should have been more specific in my reply.

I ran two 120mm computer fans from one end pulling in to the other pushing out. Worked well for me on my 75g with 2 250w and 4 t5s.
