inexpensive fan ideas?

[alpinefarm]

Where to find a small, electric fan for a styrofoam cooler ASAP?

In an old PC.

Radio shack has a small one for about $5 if you are lucky enough to find one still in stock.

Also check ebay.

Look at your local used computer/repair places too.

also Check at yard and garage sales in the summer, well maybe even some going on in the warmer states now, even flea markets, if your lucky maybe you'll find one for a buck or less.

I got mine on ebay, I'll find the link for you. I think it was about $4 with shipping.

here ya go http://cgi.ebay.com/PC-CASE-SLOT-CPU-HDD-VIDEO-CARD-COOLER-BLOWER-FAN_W0QQitemZ150321203821QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item150321203821&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1199%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

It's $3.28 BIN with free shipping. This one has the blower on the end of it, so you'll need to mount it to the top of the bator, with the 'sucker' facing the bottom.

You mean outside of the bator? It's not supposed to draw in air, just circulate, right MissPrissy?

Well, I'm trying to increase the oxygen level inside my little giant and circulate the heat, as well, with the goal of keeping the air temp more even, as I've had some so-so hatches. Trying to improve my odds!
Thanks for the ideas. I've got to find something today and don't think I want to rely on my ability to tinker with something at this last moment before my BC Marans eggs need to get started this afternoon!
