    Are you looking for an AC fan or a DC fan? Is controlling the speed of the fan important to you?

    I would use a dc fan. like one out of a computer. ac fans generate a lot of heat and when the temps get high during summer the ac fan can over heat a small to med. incubator.

    I like this one:

    With this variable speed cord:

    You can adjust the fan to the perfect speed to circulate the air without adding additional heat.

    Here's the link to the fan rheostat to control fan speed, which I use in our incs.
    I love having the ability to adjust the fan speed.

    Re: Which cheap incubator fan to buy?!?

    Is the fan needed to bring in fresh air or expel air? Or is it just placed inside for circulation? A question from a future incubator builder.

    It is to circulate the air, so that there are no hot spots. Without it, warm air rises and the top of the incubator can be hotter than the bottom. You want a nice consistent temp throughout the inside.
