Hey, I was wondering if anyone has used a fan from a playstation 3 in their grow box, if so how did you wire it. It has three wires a red, black and grey. Would a 12 v adapter work ? PlayStation 3 PS3 Original 19 Blade Internal Cooling Fan Replacement | eBay Thanks.
Never thought of doing this really. Though I have no doubt the fan would e reliable, isn't it ironic that many PS3s have issues with overheating? Which produces more heat? Your grow or a PS3? My point is I worry it won't be a strong enough fan to compete with the heat coming from anything other than LEDs.
For the same price you can get a nice size PC fan that would actually cool CFL's Newegg.com - CPU Coolers, CPU Fans, CPU Heatsinks

The description says 100 cubic meter capacity. Does this mean it moves 100 cubic meters per minute? That's a lot for a cheap fan. Most little 4" fans I've seen are about 100 cfm. That would make this fan about 27x more powerful. I doubt that...
I have literally no idea, but it will move a lot less than a 4" rvk fan. it's a cheap quiet fan, I don't think it will handle large grows. I use one on my 4' x 1.5' x 4' box with 250watts of cfls and it does a fair job at keeping the temps down. it's sucking through a carbon filter and blowing through a metre of ducting so at a guess maybe it mean 100cubic metres per hour?
