Aint a bad find. 25$ for the 4 in. Look on ebay. I got me two 500 cfm squirrel cage fans for 14 bucks apiece.

they are cheaper at home depot. i bought a 4'' for 19.99 an dthey go up as they get bigger but not by much. i think the 8'' is 29.00 dont quote. good deal if ya havent got a home depot nearby.

Those fans are not good for pushing air. Their CFM ratings are deceptive as well. They are meant to boost your furnace air flow. I recommend squirrel cage fans or some elicient type inline fans, way better air flow.

billy in ebay look for industrial salvage fans. You may have to phrase it different ways but what you find will be alot cheaper than if they know your buying it to grow. Shipping for my two fans (they arent dayton) was only 8 dollars less than the total cost of both of them. That comes out to 1000 cfm for only 48 dollars. Shaded pole blower is the proper name instead of squirrel cage and a search for this also gives some good results. Just watch out for the voltages though as many of the industrial salvage fans are higher voltage. Im always lookin to save a buck.
