Thanks for the link.

I popped over to Frys tonight and picked up two DC computer fans and an AC/DC converter. The fans were about $5 each and the converter was another $7. I cut the tip off of the converter and wired it all together. Right now, they're both set to blow air away from the canopy. After reading the article above, I'm thinking I might reverse them tomorrow and then put them on the same timer as the light.

I did find a couple of cool things. The converter I bought runs at different voltages, and I can lower the voltage to reduce the speed (and noise) the fans operate at.

I'm off from work tomorrow, so I should be able to monitor things.
