Setting up a new house and chose a coat closet to become my network closet. Right now it only gets up to about 80, but it is less than half populated.
I thought it would be easy to find a through wall ventilation fan. I can exhaust to the side of the closet into a utility space.
I thought I could just buy something, cut a whole in each side, and shove it in.
I am struggling to find such a thing, well, with a couple of caveats.

(Broan 512 Room to Room Utility fan in case the link doesn't work).
something like this looks just fine, but it says 3.5 Sones which is about 45 dba I think, which is really loud. I do not want to hear it if I'm more than 5' or so away.
Infinity makes a bunch of "room and closet" fans, e.g.
https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-High-Airflow-Equipment-Enclosures/dp/B0788ZMZ7X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=B0788ZMZ7X&qid=1553008889&s=gateway&sr=8-1
But they are thin. Looks like I would need to frame up around it, essentially making a duct. They show it mounted in a door (at 2.28" it's a bit thick for a door though or I might consider it). Unless I'm misunderstanding -- it really otherwise looks good.
These look like a nice cheap way -- could just control with a smart plug -- but same issue, I would need to build my own duct.

It's not that I cannot build my own duct, I can probably manage it, but I have enough DIY tasks right now that it is not high on my interest list.
I would really like to find something already made to just sit in a standard 4" wall, ready to go.
Anyone know of such a thing, or should I break out the sheetrock and mud or sheet metal?
Thanks,
Linwood
