Hello, I have some hardware coming and I am told it runs hot and requires extra cooling...

I won't be able to install extra (or better) fans on the thing until I know what I'm looking at and there might not even be a good place to mount them...

And I want to be able to start mining as soon as the unit arrives, until I figure out what to do... so am looking on Amazon for a good floor fan / shop fan that:

1. Provides adequate cooling without overheating itself

2. Can be left on continuously

3. Isn't "too" loud (the room can contain the sound equivalent to several hairdryers and/or old vacuum cleaners but probably not a leafblower)

4. In the $100 range

I guess issue #3 can be avoided if I get one with an adjustable setting.

Do you use a floor fan for extra cooling and what can you recommend?
