    Ok, so here's the deal...

    I'm purchasing a cooltube HPS, and need to cool it. I will also eventually need to make a DIY carbon filter. My temps are a bit of an issue, and my grow room is 10' (wide) x11' (long) x8' (high).

    Now, my question is THIS...
    6" All Metal Inline Booster Fan 6 Inches Duct Fan 240 CFM

    [​IMG]

    And the link to it
    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Inline-Booster-Inches-GYO2402/dp/B003YFADW8/ref=pd_bxgy_k_img_a"]Amazon.com: 6" All Metal Inline Booster Fan 6 Inches Duct Fan 240 CFM,GYO2402: Kitchen & Dining[/ame]

    I can get 2 of these for about $45, and they'll fit my ducting strait away...

    -OR-
    ​

    Stanley High-Velocity BlowerFan (which i would mod)


    .
    Here's the fan itself

    And the link to it.

    Then i'd have to do this;

    More work and a LITTLE more money, but it seems like it's a lot more powerful.

    I'm just curious what YOU guy's think.
    And before ANYONE suggests that I simply get an inline fan, if that was an option, I wouldn't be debating between these 2 items. Both have advantages. The first would be quiet, and won't need any modification. But the second is powerful, and the same price. Not to mention the mods aren't very expensive.
    I'm just worried the inline booster won't have enough power to pull air through my carbon filter once it's built and installed...

    Anyway, no fighting, no rude comments, and no insults regarding my going with DIY rather then simply BUYING fans and carbon filters. I'm growing for a single patient (not me :p) and my money goes to help keep my family housed and the water/gas/power, ect on.

    Thanks for all your help (in advance) and I look forward to your opinions. Alternatively, if anyone has any other suggestions, cheaper fans, better mod idea's, by all means, please let me know. Keep in mind however that I have between 40 -50 bucks MAX to drop on a fan.

    Thanks again guys. I'm ordering within the next 24 hrs at the longest, so the sooner I get this feedback the better!

    I don't have mod powers ;-)

    Sorry for double posting, but you really should post this in the cultivation section, it will get more experienced replies, and it belongs there

    and yes my current vote should b for the blower, remember that when you gather ur final results

    Thanks, will do! I spend more time on RIU, so i'm unfamiliar with where this sort of question should go.
