    S&P TD-Silent Series vent fan question... Are you using one?

    Hey fella's... I bought an S&P fan online and I wanted the TD-Silent 150, but like doofus I accidentally ordered the original TD-150, not the silent version! D'oh! It's a bit too loud for my taste so I'm trying to decide if I should eBay this one and get the 150S or if I should build some...

    Controlling humidity and temp... How to?

    The reason I'm asking how to control these 2 things is because I'm a bit baffled at how one would use an A/C to control the temp... And then what about the humidity?
