Alistair,One minor correction: The fans you're using are not "squirrel cage" fans. Those would be cylindrical with vanes or louvers perforating the cylinders' outer edge and the axis centered in the base. In theory, the squirrel would run around the inside of the cylinder positioned on its side causing it to spin on its axis. I believe the computer-type ones you are using are called "muffin fans."

Oh now you're being silly Steven, do you really want your fridge to have a SIM card?

But if you wanted that it sure would be easier to set up with an electric fridge.
Yeah, there are sim based remote relays. And i saw somewhere on the web a guy using one to do remote start on propex.
I have a simple little rf based wireless remote I thought would be fun to use with the propex. But then I though maybe I could use it for perimeter lights. Haven't done either yet.
