No, they don't even get warm. They are exceptionally quiet, even better airflow to noise ratio than the Nexus.
The fans are available from Allied electronics for $9 stock number 997-2123

You can speed control them very nicely with a 1K 3 watt pot also from Allied for $5
stock number 522-0049
Allied has fan cords for them for about $1 Stock number 609-5642 for a 3' cord with a straight connector.
Dimmer modules and fan speed controllers don't work very well with them. Use the pot. You will need one pot for each fan, don't stick two fans on one pot. You can either just leave the fans plugged in all the time or use a pump relay to turn them on and off.
