I could be way off base here, but could you not just use a typical PC fan?
If you used a PC fan you could get a 92 mm or 120 mm that has lower RPMs, but higher CFMs. At lower RPMs you get the quietness and with it being a larger fan you increase your CFMs.

Ive thought about doing that clark, as being in the IT industry I can almost always get the fans free, or almost free... Seems like it would work.

As posted above they aren't high. I paid under 3 for them and have tested many. Just pic ac or dc whatever system you already have to tie into. DC makes less heat and you don't want a bunch of air so stay small. I have tested some from a pc with a cooling heatsink still attached works well slowing the air and will drop the temp.

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

Just be sure and check the AC-DC converter with your cabinet. Mine outputs 9VDC.

yeah, that's the secret. Is it DC, what voltage and what amperage (although here there is a little leadway cause it will support 2 fans and I only have 1-not counting the main fan on the humidifier)

Just be careful with heat!
