Has a comparison I use a 24v dc blower running at 7.5 volts at .15 amps which is just a tad over 1 watt. Small units do not need a big blower. Now if you have a big commercial unit and/or 15 feet of pipe to your tower you might need something like that.

Gotcha. I haven't tried it yet. I can get a 25 CFM 12V DC blower for cheap, too. Looks like a PC cooling blower. It's got a red and a black wire. I know red is hot and black is ground, but what do I wire it to? I have a power supply that I can use.
INPUT: 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 0.4A
OUTPUT: DC 12V 1.5A
Can I wire this blower to this AC?DC power supply or the amperage way to high? The power supply label also shows, a negative sign to the left and a positive sign to the right (in circles, connected by straight lines). Does this mean the left wire going into the power supply is negative and the right is positive?
OR.... I have a cell phone wall charger that I'm no longer using. It's DC output reads 5.2V 800mA ( i assume this is milliAmperes, or equal to .8A?). I cut the end off it and it's got red and black already.... can I wire the DC blower to this? I will patiently await your expert opinion, as my wife will be ticked off if I electrocute myself.... or burn down the house.
The blower I'm looking at is
