I have a media console and will place my receiver and gaming rig in there. It will get hot, even with the back off.

 

Id like to put in some effective, but quiet fans. 2 on bottom to suck in cooler air, and 2 on top to pull out hotter air.

 

What are decent fans that i can screw in? Id need an adapter to plug them in wall.

I think the OP means 'Entertainment Unit' when they say 'Media Console'?  Like the piece of furniture?  I.... Think?

there are wall adapters to PC fans. the fans will only run at 100% using them. so I would probably get silent focused fans and good positive pressure. probably the best pick would be arctic p12 silent or p14 silent. no need for the pwm versions as they can only run 100% anyways.  p12 is 120mm p14 is 140mm.
