Great thanks alot guys for the input, I figured a plug would work, but
I was nervous about starting a fire from my lack of electrical
understanding.

I was hoping to adviod a switched outlet, what would be the max amp
rating you would concider "safe" when doing this?

There is no "safe" limit, provided the panel, breaker, wiring, and
outlet are all rated for more than the fan.

That fan is pretty small. It's just a 6" fan. It's much smaller than
one of those 20" box fans.
