I thought of those and I even have one I think. So just run the adapter at 12V and splice the wires together?
Do you know of anywhere I can find these 110V fans? |

I'd look around at hardware and local electronic stores. But if you go online I know www.newark.com has some.
If you get really crazy, we have some 230V 120mm Pabst fans at work. Steel blades, like 100 cfm each. |
