Hurricane Fan to Move 1000 CFM and Ventilation Questions

It's me again.  UPDATE: 2 of 5 Avalon 741 miners up and running just to learn.  I tried 3 and basement became ridiculously hot, so I will wait until my wine closet is ready and properly ventilated before I get all 5 miners going.  I'm now working on ventilation while I wait for the electrician.  Since I'm putting 5 miners into a small space, I have decided to go with this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=317wqakIKx8 (if you don't want to watch, my short description is below).

Basically, I will attach insulated duct work to all 5 miners.  I will run those 5 ducts into a larger tube with a hurricane fan on top.  The fan will push the hot air out of my house.  I'm reluctant to use PVC as the "larger" tube because (from what I've read) it can deform at high levels of heat.  Anyway, here are my questions:

1)  Does anyone have experience with this Hurricane fan?  Do you like it?  How noisy is it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hurricane-Inline-Fan-12-in-1060-CFM-736590-Commercial-Grade-High-Performance-/302461946006?epid=1007520736&hash=item466c230896:g:v9MAAOSwVaVZxCny

2) For my "main tube" I was thinking of duct taping a bunch of y-joints together (http://www.homedepot.com/b/Heating-Venting-Cooling-HVAC-Parts-Accessories-Ducting-Venting-Transitions-Connectors-Wyes/N-5yc1vZc5hq) and then running my 5 insulated miner ducts to the y joints?  Is this a good idea?

Thanks in advance for you thoughts.
