yes it is possible, how much airflow you're wanting could be the issue as could over cooling.

if you're going to bother with a fan, then i'd get a thermostatically controlled switch fitted and then get a decent small fan, computer ones can be good if you look for cpu ones without heatsinks.

Yeah as said computer fans, they're 12V too. You don't need CPU fans though you can get generic case fans with no heat sink

You can get some good IP rated waterproof computer fans these days. ive got some of the monster delta fans to be used for additional cooling. Nice high air flow too. And being modern computer fans, they usually all have speed control so you could quite easily set them up at temperature dependant speeds if you have a decent ecu and can make a simple driver circuit.
