I bought a pretty nice 600w system that is an enclosed system. I was wondering now how powerful the squirrel cage fans should be to ventilate the system. I'm looking to have one fan blowing air over the bulb and another exhausting the hot air out. On the other hand I need fans that will do the job well, but also be fairly quiet. I can't have these things making tons of noise. I don't want anyone to hear it through walls or anything. Would a fan from like 150-180cfm be enough to ventilate the 600w? Any more powerful than that I fear will make too much noise. I'm not sure how loud squirrel cage fans are, but if it's anything like my 200cfm computer server fan... Then that's going to be very bad news.
And I am thinking of even using acoustic ducting to help control the noise a bit.
