How to wire a CMF fan

PC fans run on 12v
you need a 12v DC adapter to run them from the mains
one of these things

Or just find any 12 volt dc adapter and splich the wires and connect them with electric tape...so cheap and takes less than 2 minutes (I found a bunch of old adapter around the house and fixed them up) So if you dont want to register on ebay then ya
