Check a local computer repair shop. They should have fans laying around, perhaps they can sell you some of the used ones for cheap.
DIY Compact Fluorescent (CFL) Strip Light Retrofit

If anyone needs a recommendation on fans to use...I personally only use Thermaltake fans. Here is a list of their fans.
I love these right here, great quality and comes with an adjustable control so that you can adjust it to your liking, either for sound or cooling purposes. I have purchased 16 of these for different reasons, no problems with any of them.
I've also purchased other Thermaltake products and I've had no issues...great stuff.

Great thread! I really like how clear you were in the original post. There have been a lot of great question and comments as well.
I'm wondering where I can get a cathode and how long are they? I'm doing a 30" light. I'm also wondering if cathodes can be added to existing strip lights. I have a 36" triple tube that's going on a 30L and when the light comes on it will be hard on the fish. I'm planning on putting a lamp on a timer neat the tank to ease them into the light but I'm thinking Cathrode may help too.
Thanks

Thanks for the comment.
I get my cathodes from Newegg.com. Here is a good list of what they have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...escription=cold+cathode&name=Case+Accessories
I've purchased these two:

They are 12" long, so you could do the single or the dual setup.

ya konw, I just rip computer fans out of old computers(where else?) they usually work fine
(I'd get cold cathodes from the same place btw...)
