using a standard PC case fan with external thermostat

[danw25]

Hi all,
i have a lot of electronics inside a cabinet in my living room.
i want to connect some fans in its back for more efficient cooling (peaks at around 59 C but i don't want to risk it)

my plan is to use a standard PC case fan connected to the back of the cabinet.
the simple solution would be to use s standard thermostat for ON/OFF running mode.
the thing is... i want the fan the be able to run at different speeds.
so what i need is a recommendation to a thermostat that regulates voltage according to measured temperature( more heat ==more voltage)
any recommendations?
thanks

Your problem has a very simple solution. There a couple of Enermax fans (dont remember the exact name... Enermax Advance maybe?) that have built in temperature sensors that regulate fan speed based on... well temperature

Just get them connected to a phone or laptop power adaptor and you'll be fine (should be something above 9v and below 12v - inclusive, with as many amps as possible).

Edit: Exact name is Enermax Everest, comes in various sizes and has detachable blades for easy cleaning.
