I too second the clip fan idea.  That's a superb solution Soloist.

Thirded.  lol  Maybe the best idea all around. I will get one of those asap.
I can either plug it into the power conditioner, or into the outlet available on the back of my MT200 while clipping the fan right to the back of the rack itself.

Hey RG,

    You can pick up fans like that at any cheap dry goods shop that sells small appliances. They don't have to be particularly expensive because no matter which one you get, after a certain amount of time, the plastic clips break. So, the cheaper the better. I usually look at places like Dollar General here where they only cost $5.00-$8.00 USD.
    Then again, I only use these type of fans on the back of my tube amps. You don't have to plug them into you power conditioner, you can plug them into any available outlet in the back of your rack since everything there is already plugged into your conditioner.

Soloist

Yeah I buy the cheap ones too, like $8.00 USD. I only plug into the power conditioner for the convenience of the outlet is right there. I usually get 2 years life out of one.

Oh yeah I know I can plug in anywhere but I was just thinking for convenience as well, everything going of the PC would be great.  I have to see if I can find one cheaper then as the one I saw was 13 not 8 dollars (talking in your money as it was actually in pound sterling.)

Oh Yes,

    I know you were talking in pounds, I just don't know the conversion rate these days. It seems the pound Sterling has dropped a bit from what I used to know it. It's been a long time since I was in England, and the Pound was worth $2.20 USD back then.

    You should be able to find them for almost half that price though.
