Any way to run case fans (120mm) on a laptop?

I'm planning on encasing a laptop and touchscreen monitor in a kiosk; the monitor may need fans to keep it cool. Any way to do this?
 
Id power the 120mm fans using a dedicated power source, not the laptop itself.

However, I havent thought of how to do that..I guess something like a regular powersupply would work?
 
Yup, notebooks have very little +12V power available (what most case fans use). About the only place that might have some is off the Firewire connector. But I would recommend a separate power brick for any fans. bgmicro.com has a number of light weight switching power supplies of various voltages.
