Cool
Smeghead:
I planning my cooling options for my pinball cab and had the crazy idea of using a small fan from a car engine.
Maybe the radiator fan or maybe a small one from an intercooler or something.
Just thought it would be a cheap way to get a large fan in there. I know they would need 12v but do you think one could run off an AC adapter?
Turnarcades:
Yes but wouldn't it be better to just strip some off some old PC's than buy a new thing for a car or some tatty rip-out from a dirty engine?
Smeghead:
well I was thinking of at least an 8-10" fan - couple of bucks from a junk yard maybe
p'raps yer right, just thinking out loud
Benevolance:
Unless you're building a Dieselpunk cab, then go hit up those dirty scrapyards.

I know you want to save some dough, but have you considered the noise level?
For $21.00 you can get a silent one like this:
