How to get power for 120mm Fan mounted in my desk ??

[Motorheader]

My PC is really quiet and gets decent airflow. Unfortunately my desk is in an area that would be considered "dead-air".

I want to mount a 120mm fan to the back of the desk to pull air out of area that the tower sits in.

How to I get the correct power to the fan? I want to use this fan: Quiet 120mm Fan or one like it.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Any 12VDC source will work.

You could use the PSU in your pc by wiring the fan into your machine.

You could also get a 120V AC to 12V DC power adapter - these can be had at radio shack for $10 or less. If you can find some old power adapters for cordless phones or something like that you might get lucky and find a 12V model - splice up the wires and you should be good to go! Most 12V adapters should produce enough juice to power a single fan like that without any problems.
