im not sure on fans, but i dont think it really matters. Long as it sucks out the fumes and dust and you can live with the noise you will be fine.

just dont get one so powerful your statue gets sucked in. I know htere is plenty of youtube videos on how to build your own so should tell you what they use.

i got a few videos on the 30in one on my youtube channel that may or may not give you some help or ideas. cause i wanted to make my own but in the long run i just got one off amazon and modded it.
