I've used a computer fan controller, mounted in a 5 1/4" external drive box, to run a couple 12VDC fans. the controller has thermocouples that attach to the outputs or heatsink and ramp up the fans as the temp rises. The drive box has it's own 120VAC/12VDC power supply. The controller has a display to read temp etc. Find them on EBAY. Otherwise use 12 Volt fans and a 12VDC wall wart. for very quiet operation you can run the fans in series. If children with curious fingers won't be present remove the covers off of the outputs.

I dig the Cave-Rabbid!!!

Pretty quiet eh? I won't hear them anyway LOL. How the neck would you hook them on and what controls them? A thermostat? Or can you run them on demand? Looks like they might fit right between the fins? Pretty cool (pardon the pun)!
Hi Ron,

Going to keep 'er simple. Use a wal wart for the power, and put a switch inline. Figure'd ya know when a serious mach 8 jam is begging you to let loose with her.:headbang::headbang:

Man... Dire Straits/Telegraph Road sounds just majestic! :glasses8::smokin:
