Some PSUs need a load (like a ballast for lights i think) search hackaday.com for the "Lab power supply", otherwise it could burn out running just running a fan.

Personally, I would use a Phone charger that matches the power requirements of the fan(s). It's a small discrete unit. I'm pretty sure almost every household in the developed world has at least one spare Noka charger!

I thought this was just kinda, common sense? wiring stuff like that.

what about a fully programmable automated fan, light and mister controled by your pc or even mobile phone and even could have remote switching!! i.e. program, change, switch stuff on and off from anywhere in the world.

Good for my next project i think but deffo going a little far haha.

Hey im back, lol haven't ben on here in 2 years or so. So this comment is late, but i just made this to help out people that dont have any idea to hook one up. It came up quite a bit. I did not use a PSU power supply, I Just had a wall wart that put out like 850mw. Someone comment on how it might be unsafe to just cut the third wire off, well all the third wire on a cpu fan does is monitor speed, so there's no safety issue. I apologize if I sound mentally challenged right now, i drank some poppy tea a few hours ago =)
