Go to radio shack and get a dc converter and splice it into the fan. They are 12vdc but will run off as little a 3-4 volts. The amperage draw is very low also so it will be able to run off the converter with no problems.
WWTKD?
If you're not terribly concerned about sound, you can use a 115V AC fan from Digi-Key
They probably sell a pluyg enclosure you can solder it to, as well. They sell everyching!

Whenever I throw away any electronic item, I always keep the DC wall adapter just for this kind of purpose. They always seem to come in handy. Just buy a fan and note the voltage/amperage requirements. Then buy or reuse a DC adapter with those specs. You can buy universal ones also. You set these with switches. I know most fans will run off lower voltages, but you should know this can be a small fire hazard. The adapter circuit will run maxed out all the time and could overheat.
I HATE MOOCHERS !!!
Here is a link to the set-up I'm gonna use....... http://www.cigarpass.com/forums/inde...pic=17890&st=0
If you have any questions you could PM Jim..... he is a great guy and would answer any of your questions
I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

...using a line voltage fan...Originally Posted by Bkcloud114
If I was just a little smarter, I could build a circuit that tripped when the RH dropped below a certain point...
Anyone an EE?
Snuck back in!
Well, since the pc fan is running off 12V, you could probably take a hydgro with a low humidity warning light or something like that, and use the wiring to the light to trigger a relay that would start the fan? Build a little black box out of some lexan or plexi to hide it in so it doesn't look like arse.
(I'm not an EE, but I build car stereos as a hobby so I've done a bit of 12V wiring.)
Oh and it would probably have to be a normal type bulb, I'm not sure the power going to an LED would be enough to trigger a 12V relay.
