Fan Setup

[bladeruner143]

Hey guys, I just wanted to know how some of you hooked up your fans in your canopies. I just got an AWESOME canopy (thanks Paul!) and some AWESOME MH (thanks Alan!) and I need to add some fans to this thing. Any advice would help, so would pics!

you can get a hole saw and drill out the ends and mount a couple large like 4" cpu fans and wire them up with a transfromer face one so it blows into the hood and one out so it pushes the hot air out. Or you can get a couple of small clip on fans and hang them on the canopy to help cool the air under the MH.

I've got 5 computer fans tied to a variable output transformer (w/fuse). Two push air in from the back and three exhaust air out the top near the front. One is on full speed all the time, an other is on the same timer as the MH lighting. The rest are on the variable that I tune depending on the ambient heat for the season. Hole sawed openings. Hot soldered the connections then heat shrinked the wires. Between the transformer (like $12 at dubmart and cannibalized computer fans, I'm only about $20 into it.
