No, you're the man.
Here's the box all done and ready to go. You can put beads in it if you want, and it'll really do some justice.
I'll box it up and get it down the road in the am.

Something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835209005

At 1200 rpm, it 39CFM and only 25dBA (essentially inaudible). Even at 2000rpm, it's only 30dBA (79CFM) which when placed inside a wooden box and that box itself placed inside a cabinet, might as well be 0dBA since you aren't going to hear it.

I've been meaning to build something like this myself since I have a spare outlet inside my cabinet and the little hydra fan add on is a whiny little bugger that I'm not crazy about.

I just need an AC/DC adapter + timer control to a 5V fan like that.

I didn't have space for another box in my cooler and don't need room for beads since I have a CO XL so I used one of these fans with one of these adapters, and a timer like this.

It's set to run for 1/2 hour every 3 hours and keeps the RH steady to within 2 points.
