>>Hey guys thinking about building a new incubator, whats the best way you have found to power a cpu fan inside?

>>Thanks





Make sure whatever dc converter you find laying around has a high enough Ma rating to run the fan without heating up.



If your converter is rated at say 300Ma (300 milliamp),then it is rated for twice what the average pc requires(150Ma for case fans).



I myself run two fans and use two converters,independent of each other..One is rated at 300Ma and the other is 450Ma,and they stay quite cool to the touch.



Should you find a converter that runs high enough Ma but is only 9 volt? Then the fan will just turn slower,as voltage decides fan speed.
