    Thanks for the link
    I would stay away from 120v AC fans. Inherently AC fans create heat. There are people that heat very small incubators JUST with an AC fan, but it is tricky. With a DC fan you just need a 12V power supply. I currently use a $65 120v AC to 12v DC power supply that handles 13 amps. A cell phone charger with 6v will run your fan at half speed of 12v ratings.

    A simple 12v DC fan is sufficient. I use these 120mm fans.
