I just ordered a pair of these...I think they'll solve the problem.  I might go ahead and wire in a switch too.

surely you don't need fans in canada? i would have thought maybe something to WARM UP the machine so it can operate  ;)

I used a Dot Matrix marking machine at work for transfering code numbers onto turbine blades.

Dexter:

I was looking into doing this myself because the noise from the fan on the back of the cocktail cab I built was too intrusive. In the end I lowered the voltage of the fan by connecting its yellow wire to the red one on the molex connector instead of the yellow. This lowers the voltage to 5v and decreases noise. It also decreases airflow (obviously) but I don't reckon it will matter for your setup.

Guys, would this work with LED fans??
