You can buy a pack of cooling fans in bulk. $8 for 12 fans...
brand is mnss cool and they are very powerful yet strong... You can run then with an old computer power supply ($3) and there isnt anything scary about wiring these....all of the connections snap into eachother. |

you will find most powersupplies around 5.5" by 5.5" by 3.5"....But I have a couple that produce less power (obviously you wouldnt need 300w to power 3 or 4 fans) but the demensions are 2" by 4" by 5" and produces 120w. You can pick one up on ebay for $15...
As for the connections... slot connections...nothing complicated. |

also...power supplies have their own switch so you could turn the PSU on in advance to precool the system....or leave it on afterwards to further cool down.
