but a 2" thick beast and while it has fans, I'm not sure what sort of power pack or connection I need to get them working! I really need fans to move on this thing, being 2" thick without active cooling, I do get thermal problems.

I use some computer fans on the old 10", suspending them from springs to avoid vibration. The 120mm ones are better, you can get them from any computer repair shop for virtually nix. It should be possible to run them off one of those power packs. The voltage should not worry them too much, I think it just affects the speed. The alternative is a battery pack. The GSO 12" uses a battery pack. The Tricky Dicky shops have plenty of them:
