Best place for cooling fans?

[Harley387]

I am looking for a couple of fans to mount inside the canopy I built. I would like something very quiet, and not too expensive. Can anyone tell me where to find decent fans?

You can get computer fans for about $5-10 at CompUSA. Many of them list air flow and dB sound level.

Grainger has plenty I have one hooked up to a a speed control.Radio shack also has a good one that's very quite.The problem with p/c fans most run on 12 v. 12v.converters are cheap though.

I saw a few at Radio shack, but they didn't seem to move much air.

the one I got from radio shack is the 3" they also have a 4".I'm using the 3"to cool 4 t5's and it does a super job.I can put my hand on top an it is cool to the touch.Had the dayton(grainger)laying around same size fan 3-4 times output but loud also had a speed control now it is nice and quite.using this fan to draw air out other end.

I have the radio shack high quality ones...they are very nice but loud.

I recommend the Vantec Stealth PC case fans... they don't push as much air as other fans but are very quiet. I've bought them from newegg.com

Sea Creatures had some really nice 4" fans that were super quiet. I think they were $34.00/ea.
