I was thinking the same thing, pc fans are so cheap but you need to find a way to tone down the power to the fan. The one I have in my hand is only 12volts DC so you can't go to an outlet with it.

I use PFO 4" fans that come pre-wired...works great. But Radio Shack sells 3" & 4" 110v fans that can be wired to plug into a wall outlet. They can be easily adapted to aquarium use without the additional expense of a computor power supply. The Radio Shack fans run about $25 locally.

hell you can get like 20 fans on one 200 watt (any cheap power supply) cause your not running a mb or hard drives or anything else and you can even put a speed control on it just incase it is to loud for you
come to think of it you can probley even put a "muffler" on them
