Help me find one

[Mikef1]

I am looking for a clip on fan to clip to my sump or stand so it will blow over my sump. I have tried, home depot, wal-mart, office depot, office max, radio shack, k-mart. Any ideas? Is there a place online where you can get these. I tried all the computer stores because I figuered they would have one you would clip to a desk.

Wal Mart usually has them - but they're in the automotive section (dashboard fans).

Hey kevein thanks I didnt look there. But the only thing is they arent 110 volt right they are 12v.

I had the same problem and had to buy 12v fans and a 12v power supply from radio shack.

 

[Mikef1]

How much did that 12 volt converter cost you at radio shack. All my other fans are 110 but I just cant find this one anywhere!!!!

 

[mountainbiker619]

12v power supply was around 50 bucks
I could not find it on radio shacks online web catalog

radio shack also has 120VAC 4" Fan

Thanks moutainbiker, I have 4 of those but I just need something I can clip on to my sump and a little bigger.

 

[mountainbiker619]

its funny..you see those clip on fans everywhere..up till the time you need to buy one..lol

 

[mountainbiker619]

another thing that is funny is that I bought a $50 12v power supply to run two $5 computer fans..lol But since I already have 3 grand invested in my big tank, whats another $60..lol

One nice thing about the 12v fans is they run quieter than the 110v. I have 4 muffin fans and it sounds like an air plane taking off when the lights come on lol. Thanks for looking though.

Office World On-line has this nifty 6" personal fan made by Lakewood. It has plastic parts- no rusting! And the $28.70 price is nice. =)

I tried to link you directly to the fans, but their shopping system won't allow it sooooo...

See the Type SEARCH Here box at the top of the page? Type "clip fan" and hit enter. That should do it!

 

[Mikef1]

Thanks casie, where do you go after you get to the site

Keep trying Wal-Mart they are just now restocking their fans for the coming months. I just bought one the other day for $8. The store near me just got them in last week.

Casie, thanks so much this is exactly what I am looking for!!!!! I have been everywhere.

Why not splice the 12v fans onto an old 12v converter (those powercords with the big black box that take up way too much room on the socket)? Heard of some guy who did this and I gave it a try and it works like a charm. Used an old answering machine plug and wired a flip switch onto it that I bought at Ace for like $2. HTH.

You may want to try office depot or office max.
