    I originally got the 6.5 but before I used it I got them to sent me a 10 scfm fan and it works well. If you call them they will substitiite a 10scfm fan for the 6.5 one.

    I don't see where they offer a 10cfm. What I see is a 6.5 or 20 cfm.

    I meant to say 20 not 10. I talked to one of the guys at auber and he said you could go either way with the blower. I have only used it twice but it worked well. I am going to do my first overnight cool with it this weekend so I will see how it does. My thoughts on the blower are the bigger the better it will just run less. Once the pid controller gets the temp under control the blower will only run a little bit.

    The other concern I'm having with the auber is the lack of a minimum draft control .
    Everyone else has a way to set a small amount of draft when the blower isn't blowing.
    Could this be a problem or am I over thinking this ?

    The Auber Instruments blower has a damper that falls shut when the blower isn't operating-->  The Auber Instruments Blower

    Quick question - do they all come with that red silicone gasket? Mine didn't come with it and I'm wondering if I need to contact them.

    I would assume so unless they have decided it isn't needed since I did the review.  I bought my unit and didn't have any contact with them other than to report the defective blower and getting it replaced.  Very good customer service in my experience.

    I'll give them a call then and ask that they send me one.

    Just got off the phone with their tech dept. They said they no longer include it, that it isn't necessary. I hope it isn't, kinda wish i had it anyway. Hopefully I'll get to try it this weekend.
