Fans
I was walking through Frys Electronics and was looking at some fans. I noticed a lot of the 12 volt fans have 3-4 wires coming out of the motor. What are all these extra wires for? 12 volt is just 2 wire????
Don't just throw it together. Take the time to build it right....

Re: Fans
Third and fourth wires are usually for temp controlled on and off settings. At least, that's what my research led me to believe, when I was researching fans for my controller. You still just use the red and black wires.

Re: Fans
My research shows the same, and working in iT I have lots of old servers and pcs floating around, so I came up with the following contraption, 4 12v 50 cfm fans wired up to 12v 1 amp power supply from a dead router, pulls 200 cfm combined.
