Reggie,

I installed a fan just the other week. When asking Mike Reedy at the NATS about it, he suggested a 5 volt fan. I found one in a Port Replicator (used for laptops) I then wired it to the 3rd channel on the receiver. Some were using small receiver packs to power the fans. The fan size is 40X40X10mm

You can do a search for laptop fans on the Internet I'm sure something will come up if you have trouble finding the 5 volt fan at your local electronics shop.

Hope this helps,
Mark
