Need some fans

[llwyd]

Hey guys. I'm on the lookout for 1 or possibly more fans with a fairly uncommon requirement, I need it to be as lower ampage as possible. The fan / fans wont be used in my PC but built into the attic trap door in my new house.

Me and my father were in there the other day wiring up the upstairs lightbulbs and it was probably the hottest place I have ever been in my life. So I suggested utilizing that massive volume of roasting hot air.

My plan is to have the fan / fans hooked up to a battery on the inside of the trap door and a variable resistor protruding through the wood. So basically the fan needs to be low ampage (for longer life) and as quiet at possible.

Any ideas? If anyones got a fan in sight you should be able to spot the ampage or wattage on the sticker so post em up and we'll see what looks best

Thanks in advance guys

Any particular size preference? I think I have a pentium 2 heatsink fan somewhere which is tiny >< I should imagine that would have low amperage, but not much use ;p

Well really 120mm or bigger would be preference, due to pitch output. Thanks though

I have 2x120mm Lian-Li fans un-used from a case i bought, and 1x120 fan from my CoolerMaster PSU that i swapped out.. Any of use to you?

The Li-Li's are 12v, 0.27A, and the CM one is also 12V, but 0.47 on the A's...

I have a 120mm 240v fan if that's any good? Would save replacing the batteries every few weeks

Yea a mains fan would be great but I was thinking about noise really (as trapdoor is right outside my bedroom door). How loud is it? Could perhaps mount one further up in the attic and use ducting to the trap door.

Thanks wigseryc but at the moment the top contender is (of course) an NF-P12, ones ive got here are labled with 0.09 A.
