Good day

Can anyone recommend specific fan, thermostat, and DC adapter for the project

Thank you
 
Noticed this also appeared in one of the other parts of the forum so I'll offer the same thoughts here. I think people might be all over the place on this one since they get parts from so many different places and piece them together. I would think the easiest to do is something like this: http://www.coolerguys.com/840556090885.html. I just built a 'son of' last week and lucked out because a friend of mine own a computer repair shop and he gave me a old pc temp controller, fan and power supply for free. Just a piece of advice. If you have not yet bought your insulation board go to your local Lowes, Menard, Home Depot, whatever and look for a sheet that is dinged up. If it's serviceable for your project ask for a discount. I picked up a sheet of 2" board for 1/2 off. With the free stuff from my friend and 1/2 of the carcass the total cost of my build...$15.22. Best of all the whole thing work divinely!

Yes I posted in the wrong place at first at couldn't delete

Thanks a lot though I've been having trouble putting the idea together. This is definitely good help
 
Any cheap computer fan will work. I got one at Radio Shack, Power supply again look for one that has the proper voltage I happened to have several floating around from old phones or computer equip. The thermostat I used was a Rite Temp ghat I found at Home Depot for $9.


There are some other tips in this thread That I posted for another member
