I have a Dayton 3C999 Portable Blower with a 10" squirrel cage (semi shrouded motor design) -- I use this for spot cooling and ventilating welder fumes out of the shop, but these are a staple in flood repair for carpet and floor drying.
Looks like this, but gray housing:

115V, 9A Portable Blower with 2-speed 1/2-horsepower motor (2870/3500CFM). 45 pounds, 20 inches tall, 18" wide, 24" long; 20' cord with built-in circuit breaker.
Online prices for these are silly...KingSolar.com (http://kingsolar.com/catalog/mfg/dayton/3c999.html) has 'em for nearly $800, and DrillSpot.com (http://www.drillspot.com/products/339603/Dayton_3C999_Portable_Blower) has 'em for nearly $600 and sells them for a hundred less. Grainger closed them out for about four bills. I'm looking for $150.
