Fan & thermostat for cabinet cooling

fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 29 points –

I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.

I'm having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.

I'd like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.

I'm hoping to decommission my home server so I'd like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.

With all that in mind, I'm looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.

They have a lot of products, including other fans and thermostats. I've had their media cabinet fans running 24/7 for 4-5 years now with no problems. Highly recommend it.

Otherwise you could use something like this and a standard 12v power adapter https://www.tindie.com/products/mmm999/dc-12v-four-wire-thermostat-pwm-pc-cpu-fan/

perfect!

acinfinity is probably overkill for me but honestly very tempting.

I did see that thermostat pwm board on amazon. When you say a "standard 12v power adapter" do you mean as in... like a transformer plug with 12v output and the right amperage?

Yup that's exactly correct. I will say one of the benefits of the AC finity is the alarm. If the temp gets too high it beeps to let you know
