Cooling fan for electronics cabinet

[RetiredBob]

I want to install a small fan for cooling the cabinet that holds the satellite receiver, dvd player and control box. Can someone please point me in the right direction. TIA.

May I suggest an Enermax Case Fan Cooling UC-MA12 12VDC. It sports a magnetic bearing (It levitates) so it is very quiet. I replaced our 2 refer external sleeve bearing fans with these. We can barely hear them inside if we put our ear to the refer. The former fans were instantly evident when they started. A small current draw as well.

You want a quite fan like is found in a computer. Radio Shack has some 12V and 120V I believe but you will find many online. You can set them to run whenever power is available or you can add a thermostat so it only runs when the temps reach a certain level.

This site has some good stuff. AC, DC, USB - if you have a USB port handy, that's the way I'd go.

Depending on whether you're using it for 120V AC or 12V DC, grab a bathroom ceiling fan from your favorite big box HW store or CW.
