U will need about 150 -200cfm per each row.
Those fans at menards fro 35 are not sufficient.
One good squirrel cage may do it. Are u concerned with noise, squirrel cage's can be loud as hell...
U could get an Axial fan, $70 each shipped, 200 cfm's each. Trust me, just pay the money, u will get it back in bud 10 times over in your first harvest. U ever see a harvest grown in high temps vs mid 70's... HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Check google, and ebay for inline fans, HTG supply has an Elicient, for around $120, if it is over 300cfm that would be enough for your job

Not sure where you are, but I've had great success with Craigslist. I bought most of my hardware for my cabinet upgrade from folks selling on craigslist. On average I paid 40-50% of buying new. Great for fans, reflectors, ballasts, etc. I wouldn't buy bulbs used though - too risky.
