the old computer fans can be wired directly to A/C power. I daisy chained a few back in the day for a homebrew heat exchanger - worked quite nicely. New ones, not sure. 9/5/2006 12:04:28 AM |

Current computer fans run off 12VDC, you're right. I'm not sure when computer fans ran off AC, that doesn't sound quite right to me since the power supply of a computer only gives you DC voltages. Even the fan in the power supply runs off DC voltage. I have a ton of DC fans of all different sizes if you're serious about this. PM me your info. 9/5/2006 7:22:17 AM |
