I thought when I saw the picture that you would probably get a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Amazing what a cheap little box fan can do. Heat in electronic components seems always to be a problem. We had electronics in enclosures in areas that reached 135 degrees so you can imagine what temperatures the electronics inside were running at.

Tallahassee, FL		 I got a similar feeling after I realized the fan was running when I took the picture. The lettering was even right side up.

Thanks Jim!

 I don't have a pic, but I bought everything from a place called »www.coolerguys.com/

The power converter is called a CS 110v AC to 12v DC
Item # 840556029977
Description: Power Supply with 4 Pin Molex Adapter

It was $14.95 a couple years ago. Just looked it up on their website & same price still. It has two Molex outlets, so it can power 2 fans.

If you search for "120mm AC fan" on their site, you'll see a selection of fans powered by AC so you can skip the adapter. Be sure to add the cord to the fan- they have a couple length options.
