Here is an Elan Z Series Fan 2, a heavy-duty, quiet cooling unit designed specifically for AV receivers or power amplifiers in a home cinema setup. The unit sits on top of your processor or amp (or rack server) and draws cool air up through the bottom of the unit and exhausts through the top. Keeping your equipment cool can save your valuable components from early circuit board failures. I used this fan in my own home cinema for several years and it has done an excellent job keeping power amplifiers cool. The unit is 17 inches wide, perfect for rack placement or mounting, and has 1U of standard rack height if you choose not to use included rubber feet.
Please note that this is a US product and has 120v/60Hz, meaning you must use a stepdown transformer to operate the unit in the UK or continental Europe. I have been using a quiet transformer purchased new for c. 20 to do that precise job, but this is not included in the sale. This product used to retail new in the US for $300+. Note in the pics there is a paint chip on the far left top side.
Elan used the following description for its Z Series Fan 2:
The ZFAN2 was developed to address the growing need for cabinet and rack system cooling, and it does so in a quiet, lowprofile, unobtrusive fashion. This single-rack fan design will draw up to 150 cubic feet of air per minute. Dual 12VDC brushless motors maintain whisper quiet operation without noise feeding back into the 120V circuits. Temperature-sensitive speed control provides just the right amount of cooling at just the right times, thus minimizing background fan noise! The remote trigger input turns the fan on and off when needed. The trigger loop output can be daisy chained to additional triggerable devices or ZFANs, and the two-minute turn off delay circuit prevents heat build up in the rack once the equipment has been turned off.
