    Default Need and idea for a vent fan!

    Hello everyone! I need to vent the air in my canopy because the condensation is coating the entire inside of it. Right now I am using a desk fan which I do not like. I would like to use something like a computer fan but the problem is getting it powered. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Computer fans should be 12vdc. Use a 12vdc transformer to power them. Make sure you have enough mA to power the number of fans you're using. mA draw can be found on the sticker on each fan.

    Sunlight Supply has 110v Axial fans that are pretty much plug and play.

    Have a good one!

    I agree on the computer fans. They are cheap, and run on 12v. Try Altex.
