Quiet range hood fan

Has anyone mounted a computer fan in their range hood to quiet it down?

Hi SoundGuy,
This is a fellow Ontarian GPG52!(Guy. Burlington, ON)
I love your solution to the Hood Fan issue.
I'm not very electrically or computer savvy, so pardon my having to ask.
Where can you purchase the PMW Voltage controller? Any technical specification needed i.e. 12v etc.
regards,
Guy

Thanks, I was wondering how well they worked and did you like the mod.

While I had the hood tore down I ran a push pull cable through it so I can open the flapper vent from the inside, under the hood.

I'd been meaning to write up my fan conversion for a couple of weeks. This question prompted me to do so, and I have just posted it in the DIY FORUM

Or if you have the money and inclination:

No need ... just install a PWM Voltage Controller (2 pics, 1 video), readily available on eBay.

Yes, if you would like photos, I have posted them before, might try looking up under my screen name.
