Wiring

  1. Hey guys thinking about getting two of these fans for my room [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026ZPFCK/ref=oh_o00_s01_i01_details]Amazon.com: Cooler Master Computer Case Cooling R4-L2R-20AC-GP: Electronics[/ame], one for air in one for air out. MY question is what size wire do i need? Or should i be going with a whole different fan?
     
  2. I would bring the wire of a power supply directly to them, no extra wire needed. Something like [ame=http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Regulated-Camera-Supply-Adapter/dp/B000VRL632/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1329179080&sr=1-2]12V DC 500MA Regulated Power Supply[/ame] would work.

    If your fans are far enough away from eachother that you can't wire to the same supply, either buy another (they are cheap) or pick up any old two conductor wire (e.g. speaker wire) and connect it all together with wire nuts.

    Hope that helps!
     
  3. saweet...hooked them up to an old phone charger and it works perfect. Got any ideas on a carbon filter? haha....its a 120mm fan.
     
  4. Look up ventilation 101 (it's a thread)

    Ventilation is a bitch and a half, and probably way more trouble than you're expecting. Long story short, use both fans as exhaust fans and drill passive air intake holes (same size but double the quantity of exhaust holes).
