ok thanks my man ,
ill go to amazon or somewhere and get one
maybe i can find a used one somewhere ..
EDIT ,
all these converters plug in to cigarette lighter outlets ,like whats in your car

do they not make a converter box that has the 120v cord on it so you can plug it into your wall receptacle ?
i might just be better off getting the ac fans instead of the dc .
hey freezerboy ask em what a fannypack is
I recommend picking up a 12v supply at a thrift store...what are the numbers on the fan besides 12v? most of the time it should say the amps too. like 0.3 or 0.7A.. I run a bunch of cheepo 0.3A pc fans and they pull through filters just fine if the filter is built right.

What lamp wattage are you using? 50 cfm ain't much. Especially after you get a scrubber hooked up. Note also that quiet is a highly relative term and they give no indication of dB or sonnes. If the cab is locked away in a room no visitors will ever enter, loud fans can be tamed. If it's in a common area, noise kills stealth dead.
i just checked and the cell phone charger im using to power it says 5.0 v
and the fan is 12 .
so i guess it is the cell charger not being strong enough
do they make power cords for these fans ?
Try Radio Shack, if you're in the USA. They have some decent wall-wart type 12 VDC power supplies that can take a variety of adapter ends (polarity, etcetera) -- I prefer the adapter with the protruding pin connectors. Buy the highest power output (like 1.5 A @ 12 VDC), since you might be able to run 2 fans off the single power supply. While you are there at RS, you might want to pick up an inexpensive multimeter -- it will help you wire up the fan to your new 12 VDC power supply properly.
The 5 VDC power supply you have been using to try the fan out would eventually burn out the muffin fan motor -- I'm somewhat surprised that the motor turned at all. With the proper voltage and a bit of excess current available, you should have no problem detecting air movement.
Is that 120mm fan btw? If so, there are some very good 120mmx38mm (they are thicker than usual) fans out there for overcoming static pressure and can be used much, much better with a scrubber than the standard thinner fans.
What's the model # on that Datech?
i don't know my man ,
it don't say what mm it is
hey if im not worried about the smell then i dont really need a scrubber do i ?
