I need this answer real quick, because today is the day to build my thang, i already got all da stuff i need, anyway.. I Found that my cellphone charger isn't enough for my fans because is 8v and not 12v..

But i found a new AC thing, it's from a Light. I need someone to read this for me because i don't know..

Damn sorry no answer but I'm in the same boat as you. last night ran to electronics store and picked up a 1- 120mm and 1 140mm 12v fan and a 12v adapter, come home to plug them up and the smaller fan just throws a small mushroom cloud and burned so i did not bother trying the bigger one. Good luck and get the right adapters

any 12 volt charger that is around 12 volts will work fine. I had a 6.8 volt that only ran one fan and the other hummed. Looked around and found a replacement charger that did a true 12 voltes and it spins 2 fans just fine. I think you should be good.

That will do fine. As long as the combined current draw of the fans is less than the max output amperage of the adapter, you are good.

In this case:

-Small-
DC 12V--0.07A
-Big-
DC 12V- 0.12A

These fans have a combined draw of 0.19A, or 190 milliamps.

-AC Adaptor-
Sec: 12VAC 1.67A

Since your AC adapter is capable of producing 1.67 amps, and your fans are only drawing 0.19 amps, it will be more than enough for your needs, and it will be able to supply a good number of similar fans, if required.
