After a succesfull day of test running my homemade ventilation system. I'm starting this threath. I've been using an old Apple mirror doors and reused this peace of garbadge as base material for my ventilation system in my new stairs- closet grow! I need some feedback here are some pics. Its running smooth draws alot of air the exhaust is a 12 cm fan running full power 12 v 3A and 2 6cm running 12 v 0.28A the power is controlled by a DSL modem PSA this delivers steady 12V DC and measures about 12.2V 1.4A this fan deliveres more than it needs and I'm going to strap switch it in 3 fases. Don't worry about all the wires in the pics cause this was after my succesfull test run running everything for 24 hours full speed without any problems the ISP DSL modem PSA runs this without any problems and doesn't become hot at all around 28 Celcius. I like the file uploader from this website awesome stuff fast as hell!

nice homemade systemm :) If it's working good then it's good ^^

Careful with all those cables we don't want to see you burn ;)

Thanks for sharing man stay safe

Yes its working need to strap it and then its working better compared to the small round vents yo buy with your growtent for instance. You need tools to make it that can be an issue for some cause when you don't have that you can better buy complete sys somewhere.

ive just made my air intake fan out of an old pc fan and a 12v adapter , it works great :)

Nice mate Ive adjusted it so the 12 cm fan is like a tube fan in an other encloser as it is in on the pics but works great, with led!!! Cause with HPS this would be less than needed!

nice, i also use 4 pc fans in the flowering tent to circulate air and 2 in veg space after having trouble with the reg table fans loosing the lubrication too fast and becoming fire hazard, i guess they are not meant for such heavy use. and everything i used to make the new fan setup i had at home laying useless, 3x 12v dc adapters from old electronics i salvaged years ago and the old pc fans i saved after they became too noisy/old for my pc needs. very cheap and long lasting:)
