Buy a cheap PC power supply at a computer store...around $15. Doesn't need to be fancy or powerful. You're not running a chip, only fans. I have 4 fans running off of one power supply this way. That doesn't include the fan in the power supply itself.

Just be careful with the hookup. Fans are 12v and the power supply can supply either 5V or 12 V....I used a multimeter to make sure. Also the main cable off the power supply which plugs into the motherboard has to be shorted. You can find info on this on the web.

This is what I've done for my first grow. Then I bought a "window" fan made by Honeywell from Target that cost $25 that has two nice fans that plug into AC. The computer fans cost me $14 a piece. The Honeywell unit is bigger and more powerful and more controllable and is quiet on low speed.

Take your choice....

Actaully, all you need is a 12v adapter, and strip the wires.

No need for a powersupply.
