I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.

I'm having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.

I'd like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.

I'm hoping to decommission my home server so I'd like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.

With all that in mind, I'm looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.

I'm open to whatever solutions might be available, and these guys look like they make awesome fans, but I think I need something much less awesome and more integrated.

Basically, I just need a 120mm PC fan, supply it with the right voltage, and thermostat.

In that case, I'd probably be thinking of a standard power supply with molex output (they make bricks like this) for a 5.25" fan controller that ties in thermistors on the control side of the equation. I know that's not the typical, "I just use a raspberry pi and..." answer we're used to here, so take mine with a grain of salt.
