power supply for fan

[quanttrade99z]

Hello All,

I'm trying to use a good quiet computer fan in order to cool an equipment cabinet.
I've selected NOCTUA NF-PF14 FLX.
http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Ultra-...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1329859517&sr=1-1


The problem is I need to plug this thing into a wall socket, and am having trouble with the power supply (the part which I plug into the wall).
The fan says it needs DC12V / 1.20W / 0.1A power. It is easy to stick the wires into the fan's cord, that part works. But I used a power supply lying that I had lying around and I think it burned out the fan (A's didnt match).
I've searched around on Amazon, but not having a luck. I'm floundering.... can anyone post a link of a compatible power supply. sorry for the silly question.

Thank you...!

The rated amperage (assuming that's what you mean by "A"s) of the power supply doesn't need to match that of your fan; it just needs to be greater or equal to it, so as not to overload the PS.

There were some inexpensive low-power regulated variable voltage power supplies on Amazon last I checked. Those would have the added benefit of speed control.

Post the specifications of the power supply you used. Make sure the polarity isn't reversed, and don't just stick the bare wires in the fan plug except for testing; you should secure them electrically and mechanically.
