PC fans for wineador

[colinb913]

I just stripped the wires from the fan, and stripped the wires from a old cell phone charger, attached the wires, little bit of soldering, little bit of tape to clean everything up, and have the fan running 24/7 with no problems.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see you already got your answer. Haha, as for the drain plug, from what I have seen in stores, some have them, some don't.

thinking of putting one on a lamp timer. Just wondering if you guys had heat build up in the humidor from having a running fan in it all day?

This should not happen. Although all electrical components create heat as waste, PC fans create very very little, just your ambient room temp going up 1 degree would have a far greater effect on overall temperature in your humidor than a fan going 24/7.

... which is what T.G suggested. You need to make sure the power source (wall wart, charger) has the right output voltage and at least enough current, as found on the fan's label.

As you can see under my post, I edited it apologizing because I didn't read the entire thread, and didn't realize that the OP had already received an answer.
