Fellas,
I have just bought a new big screen TV entertainment system with towers on either side of the TV and a bridge over the top. Due to heat build up in the wood cabinets I feel I need some fans to blow the heat out the back holes. I have heard that fans can cause interfearance so what should I do to help the heat build up.

Thanks in advance!

A couple of Crouzet DC Brushless Fans powered by a 12 volt regulated power supply.

Fans:
Case 6" x 6" approximate
Rotor 120mm x 38mm
12 VDC
0.65 amps
7.8 watts
3150 RPM
120 CFM
0.34 inches H<sub>2</sub>O
48 dBA
$25 each

There are other options for Fans, but stay away from AC fans and non-brushless DC fans.

Aha! Another flimsy excuse to post a link to my favorite fan manufacturer (http://www.bigassfans.com)! :D

48db inside a cabinet is going to reverberate and may or may not be too much noise. Silen-X makes some 12volt fans that pull pretty good air under 20db.

I'm about to order one of the System 2's. I've heard good things about their products, but havent' tried one yet. Seems to be some good thought going in to them.

The Panasonic Panamax fans are available at Parts Express and they are cheap and quite reliable as well as quiet.
