My thoughts for a fan were the same - I have a 140mm fan from an old server that should do the job.

That is exactly why I bought one from Lymax. I had worked out what I wanted to do and came up with almost the same concept as theirs! Then I was talking to Anthony one morning and he mentioned Lymax, so I googled them and decided I could either fork out the money and have one in a week or so, or, I could pick up some PVC on the way home one day and spend hours of endless fun on the lathe at home turning it down into a pile of swarf. I figured it would take maybe 2 or 3 weekends in total to get it finished. Compared to buying it, I would be working for about $2 an hour for myself. I don't work for anyone for two bucks an hour...so I bought it.
I ordered it on a Monday and it arrived the next Monday. It works great. I can get it cooled in an hour or so and have sufficient image quality for visual use, otherwise it could easily take twice as long. And I have to get up before 6 each morning to go to work so I really don't want to be up until after midnight.
