Re: Cooling fan for DIY lighting system



Computer fans use 12 Volt DC power so you would need a converter, or a
rectifier to run from "outlet" power.  Devil if I know where to get a cheap
one.
I would recommend a trip to RADIO SHACK (all glory to them)they have 120 v
Ac "outlet" power fans for under $20 in the catalog.
