Home made temp Controller question...

I have a hard time paying $160 - $400 for what seems like a simple Temp controlled fan.  Wireless Thermometers are affordable... all they are doing is having a fan turn on and off based on that temp.  

I came across this product on Amazon.    WILLHI WH1436B 550F High Temperature Controller Pre-wired Digital Outlet ($33)

It sure seems like it will do the job, with a small fan plugged into it.  They also sell high temp fans for about ($11).  A little sheet metal folding, trial and error and it might do the job for under $50.

Anyone try this?  

Anyone have any advice.

    I have one of those that I use for controlling the temp of a crock pot. Works fine and holds a steady temp to within a degree or two.

    Let us know how well it works running a blower fan for controlling temps.

    If you get this figured out, I am expecting a diy thread.
