I got mine off of Ebay. They're doing a good job so far.

So there's several ways you can accomplish cooling your rack. For me though, I had an old computer that was ready to be scrapped, so I removed the two 12V DC cooling fans that were in it and rigged them up to cool my system. I recently added a temperature sensor to actually measure the AVR/amp temps now. Check my gallery for some photos if you are interested.

You could buy a cooling set up on line, or get some 12V fans and run with it.

I'm needing fans also. I saw some at coolerguys.com that looked pretty nice. I may try these.
