Reusing Power Supply Fan

A friend of mine has an attic stocked full of Power Supplies, and I mean like 20 to 30 power supplies. I realized that power supplies have fans in them, and I was wondering if I could reuse this "treasures". Any suggestions? Or am I just wasting my time and energy?
 
I actually salvaged a ps fan and used it as a case fan...it moved air. Good fans are so inexpensive, it almost seems like more trouble than it's worth to "salvage".

Just an opinion...
 
I just cut the fan wires off of the power supply pcb, and now it looks like a fan with bare leads, except my scissor went crazy, now the bare leads are gone. Are they still usuable? What can I do?
 
Why bother? Fans are so cheap. If you used these old fans, you'd probably be getting low quality fans and you'd have to add connectors which costs money and time. Maybe you could sell all these old power supplies to the local electronics surplus store.
