has anyone used a fan on their project?

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I may have a need to use a fan in my project. The tubes (2x 8cg7 running at 8V heaters and 2x 6H30 running at 6V heaters) are inside the chassis.
I plan to get the power from the 1st cap of the regulated DC supply (using LT1084 which is similar to LM317) which acts as heater suppy for the tubes mentioned above.
not sure what fan size to use yet. But I'm hoping I can fit a low noise 8cm fan in there. I may need to install the fan on the outside of the chassis which thankfully is on the back. I'll need to see if it fits.
Should the fan be blowing in or out?
any thoughts/comments?
thank you.
