how may I use the fan only?

The best information is in http://support.nest.com/article/How-do-I-use-Nest-to-turn-on-my-fan-without-heating-or-cooling but summarizing: you can schedule the fan of your HVAC to start/daily, periodically (i.e. every 4 hours), or start right now (and in both cases, tell it how long to run): i.e.: run every 4 hours for 30 minutes. In the default "automatic" mode, Nest will run your fan when it runs the heating or cooling actions of your HVAC.

The fan has a usb cable that connects it to your laptop, that way it only runs when your laptop is on

I have one that I leave connected to my computer constantly, and I rarely turn it off. The hard drive only spins up when it's in use, so if you don't use it much, heat isn't an issue. And as long as you are in a temperature-controlled room that stays below 85 to 90 degrees, it shouldn't matter how much you use it. A fan is only necessary if the ambient temperatures is very hot.

Frankly if the cabinet is open, you do not really need the fan. Biut given the choices, I would pull air through the front and exhaust to the back.

Yes, you will be able to, however, the fans will always run at MAX speed. I was previously using it directly to the PSU, now its is connected to a fan controller.

I'm sure with the right tools you can certainly separate these.unless you are wanting to remove the fans and use them as something other than a g-rated fan, I wouldn't recommend it. This product is clearly intended to be a dual fan installation. Given that, I can say that this fan is still working for me after more than a year of continuous operation.

As far as we know, you can't. You must physically get to the fan and flip the switch on the fan.

You don't need to have the fan on if you are using it for the home theater. I believe it was designed for several network equipment running simultaneously. It doesn't bother me the noise, but I don't feel the need. The rack is excellent quality for what I paid. They raised the price by a couple hundred dollars right after I placed my order.

You can use it either way. For me personally I have the front case fan blowing air in. The rear case fan blowing out. Two top fans blowing out and two side fans blowing in. My CPU Temp is at 25 Celsius at no load.

We are building a house and bought this fan to install in the kitchen and we wired for the fan to be turned off and on via a switch on the wall, so I'm thinking you can do this, but you will have to have it wired to do so. Hope this helps!!

In most cases, you only want the cpu fan installed directly to the motherboard, unless you are an enthusiast or just want it to run quietly.

You would need to connect the fan to an external motion sensor that would turn off the power to the fan and then turn it back on when sensing motion in the room. It is designed to run at a very low speed at all times and draws an insignificant amiunt of power. It would be less expensive if you purchased a different fan and operated it from the motion sensor, then you would only be paying for one motion sensing circuit.

I believe you can but they are grossly overpriced from what I remember (I researched this a while back). So, you might be better off getting a fan that comes with one - IMHO.

You connect the fan either to the motherboard or to the case. If your motherboard has sensors or settings to regulate the fans then you can use those or if you would prefer to do it via the case you hook them up to the case instead. I would recommend hooking the CPU fan to the motherboard as my MOBO gives me an error every boot saying no CPU fan detected.

Yes you can, only that the fans must be placed under the radiator, not on top because the case top cover will not let you due to space clearance.

The only way to use the fan indoors would be to hook it up to a 12v power supply. Since it is a 12v electrical motor, the fan cannot be hooked to 110v house electrical source.

Yes, you can use it as a fan only if you wish however its not a very powerful fan.
