Cheaper also.

I cut apart an extension cord, wired the controller in there then plugged in a 9V converter that I had (No idea what it used to go to) and then cut that up and wired it to the fan. It works alright (Still waiting on the stirbar) but I think the magnets interfere with the operation of the fan so I need to find a way to lift the magnets away from the fan some it seems.
