Projector 12v Out Questions.

Hey guys, I want to utilize the 12v out on my Pro8400 to run two fans in a box I'm making. These are standard 90mm, 3-pin, case fans. From what I've seen, I need a trigger box, but I was wondering what specifically I should be looking for, if there are any other options, or if I can build something myself.

Thanks!

A relay or transistor, and a power supply for the fans.

Here's a diagram that may be useful:

Let me know if the diagram provided is not sufficient. I have all the parts to build a control that you are looking for. BTW just a cautionary note: be sure the volume of air movement from the fans matches the appropriate unrestricted inlet or outlet so no drag is put on the fans. That will cause them to make more noise and heat up, thereby pulling more current.
