PC FAn for cooling cabinet
lilshawn:
squirrel cage fans work fine in most applications, i'd have to say as long as you don't have to pull a vacuum in the case... IE: you don't have all fans blowing out, then they are great. if they have to fight other fans, they don't move anything. they move air, they aren't powerful.

Take yer pick....they're all cheap.

generally anything will work, you just need to have a hole right?
you just have to decide if cooling or quiet is the focus.
edit: for bad splellings

Perfect example to do the research on their rated CFM. Most of those are missing that bit of info.
Still.... an interesting site.

Get the biggest one you can find. A larger fan doesnt need to spin as fast to move the same amount if air as a smaller fan. The slower it spins the less noisy it will be.
