i heard a lot of praise on here about the papst fans... so i found one on some auction site and got it... on the sticker it says

Papst Multifan 4392 M
12V-DC 2,6W
(6-15V - DC)

anyway, it doesnt have a normal molex connector thing, it has a red/blue wire, and that's connected to a little prong thing (ill draw that in mspaint if i didnt explain that well)... so what should i do to connect it to a molex (assuming i can?) im assuming the red wire is the one that carries the power and the blue one is ground, or should i not make that assumption?

here's a picture of it, no prong tho :(

I just installed some Radioshack 80s that came with bare wire. Blue was ground and red was hot I just connected them to regular molex spliters. I had a few around you should be fine connecting them as regular black/red config. If you want to double check just use a 9v transistor batterie 9v is enough to spin 12v fans.
