November 20, 201213 yr Yes, this is a weird question. But it's my question, and TIF hasn't failed me yet. Why: Small rig to dry out goalie equipment, namely gloves and skates; seems to be an effective way. I'd like this one as it's cheapest: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817170024Can I plug 4-5 of the fans below into it? I have no idea how to read the specs in terms of 'crap you can plug into it' - am I right in assuming that 1 x 4-Pin ATX and 12V4 x Peripheral are the same thing?/can I plug the Molex connector fan into any of these? But my other options are:http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817170016http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817152019 I'm probably just going to buy these case fans because they're cheapest: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835209055 Thanks for answering my kind of stupid question. sig by Soa.....tip.it times.....art & mediadeviantart/flickr/last.fm/steam/twitter/tumblr/youtube
November 21, 201213 yr A single fan won't draw more than 10 watts, if it even nears that. You're fine. How are you planning on setting this up anyways?
November 22, 201213 yr I have to ask. Would it not be cheaper and massively more effective to buy a couple desk fans? I just can't see a computer fan being able to move enough air to be effective at more than a foot away, which means that it would take two just to handle your blocker and trapper. Your looking at 2 more for your skates, 1 or 2 for your helmet because of it's size, and one for your neckguard. If you plan on fanning your pants or chest protector, that's like 6 each, and another for your cup. On the other hand, you could probably get everything but the pads, chest protector, and pants in the range of a couple desk fans (one if you put it on swivel), and those things should dry just fine if you take them out of your bag. Also, one more idea if your house isn't totally electric heating. What we did for my golie gear was build a rack by the furnace. The big stuff hung on rack, and everything else sat on shelves made with wire mesh to let the hot air rise through them. The extra heat from the furnace helped dry things out faster.
