I'm planning on a false floor and I am curious on what type fans are you supose to use to keep it cool? Can i just use PC fans and then wire them to a relay?

just use PC fans and wire to the remote lead. they pull next to no current.
Just dont get those fancy flashy ones, no point

yeah fans should be all you need. Depending on the install you might need fans blowing cool air in and some blowing hot air out.

Should be enough, make shure you do a pull/pull or push/push and leave a vent hole
Never a pull/push you wont get enough air flow.

Really? You might be right.

I spose it would depend on where the air flow would be going.

But yeah exhaust would work.

Unless your exhaust fan is smaller than the intake fan or vice versa, it wont work with a push/pull.

lets say i use 40mm fans. 40mm on one side(blowing in air) and another 40mm on the other side(blowing air out)

>>>air in----->>>AMP---->>>air out>>>

I think hes right I think push/pull wouldnt work "as well" as one fan and exhaust. I cant explain why! The air would leave too quick therefore not cooling as well. It would come in and go out so fast that it wouldnt dissipate any of the heat. Am I right supa?
