    Cannot escape your eyes.....I bought the green tube from Daiso. Very observant.

    For the power, i am using a DC adapter bought in SL Tower. FYI, there is 2 types., "regulated" and "non-regulated" where the latter is much cheaper for the same power. The latter is for less sensitive equipment like DC fan, etc.

    nice work there. Don't know whether is it appropraite to reveal the overall expenses, to compare the price of a commercial one.

    let mi try answering this one too...

    PC 12Vdc Fan 80mm - $1
    AC to DC 12 Vdc adaptor - $8
    Green tubes - always $2~

    Total ~ S$ 11.
    Note, PC use DC fan, is quieter but less powerful then AC ones.

    2 out of 3 correct.
    The PC DC van is 120mm. Costing $3.80 per pc with 0.2A each.
    Thus total cost is ~$17.60.

    BTW, how much is the commercial type? I did not keep track. Just prefer to DIY.

    Commercial ranges from 7.50 (cheap fan) to 40 dollars (very expensive - blower type system)

    The cheaper the fan is, the smaller the fan.
