Where do you get these fans? I've tried Wall Mart, Wallgreens and other places with no luck.
Thanks for the help!

From my understanding they have been discontinued. I picked some up on Amazon a few weeks ago. Also E bad has them.

Amazon and ebay.. My only complaint is that they go through batteries quick.. I've only had mine a couple months, and its not spinning anymore, because the battery is dead.

Try the Odd lot stores like Big Lots and Ollies. I have seen them there.

The new ones come with aplug for the wall. It isn't too difficult to setup a simple circuit to make it run on batteries, worst case scenario. Or make a circuit with computer fans. Ron also has fans with timers.

Go with Heartfelt. IF they are out of stock or something, then hit ebay or Amazon.

I have an Oust fan in both of my big bins. They are great.

I just picked up a used cpu fan (approx. 3&#8221;x3&#8221;) today from CDO for $1 and a used wall adapter for $2. Both in great shape and came with a one month guarantee (not a big deal for such a small investment but who&#8217;s complaining).
I will hard wire the fan to the wall adapter then plug it in to a lamp timer. I have plenty of those at home. I have one that can be set in 10 or 15 minute increments so I&#8217;ll probably set it to run for 10 or 15 min every hour. I&#8217;ll check it when I get home and post a picture when I rig it up.

That's a pretty good idea!

I thought so. I couldn't find the oust fans and didn't want to have to keep changing batteries anyway so I thought this should do the trick. The cpu fan takes up a lot less room too. You can also get a 2"x2"x1/2" which is nice and small for a desktop if you wanted.
