bijaker1 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 NewEgg.com has a great selection of PC fans, that's where I buy mine. You can search by size, and noise level (which may be very important for an AVR) by clicking on "Advanced Search" on the left. Here's a link to their fans: Newegg Fan Link.

bijaker1 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Sorry for that, I guess I have to figure out how to make links clickable. Here is the URL for the link: http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=573&name=Case-Fans I've bought lots of 120mm fans for my PCs as well as some smaller ones. Go with one that is both rated at a low SPL (around 20dB or less is very good) and has reviews saying it is quiet as manufactures aren't the most honest when it comes to fan SPL. Any 12V power supply with 500mA or more will work. Because you will be adding a fan to your AVR which does not have dedicated fan 12V supplies you should get a 12V adapter (like this one: http://www.12vadapters.com/adapter/power-supply/12v/1-amp-1a.html) and cut the end connector off so you can strip the wires and solder them to your PC fan wires. I wouldn't buy a 12V adapter because they are very easy to come by. I have several in the garage leftover from appliances that broke/were replaced. This may be overkill but I found an instructable that describes what I imagine you want to do: http://www.instructables.com/id/Mod-your-stereo-amp-with-PC-fans/?ALLSTEPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TasDom Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I bought this one and it works great. It has 2 speeds and is very quiet. It integtates nicely with my components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
