im building a rad box and cant decide between these 2 ways of moving air.
blower choices:
1)nutone bathroom blowers 80 cfm .7sones $59 also a 300 cfm model consisting of 3 blowers ganged together-but this one is audible and more expensive
2)used auto heater blower-these run off dc but suck down the amps
fan choices:
1)attic gable fan 1600 cfm at $50 from home cheapo - maybe get a dimmer to slow it down
2)inline 8inch duct fan 600 cfm @ $29 also from there
3)papst,panaflo or nexus cluster-expensive and weak but quiet and dc
Obviously the fan choice is irrelevant without knowing the radiator
I am going to the junkyard and see if i can find a small radiator, not a heater core. I want a big surface area so i can run the fans slow. With a filter in front of it, i can watercool the pc and clean the room air at the same time.
