Does anyone know of a way to power a standard internal pc fan with an

in the rear of it but need a way to power them without running them
from the PCs internal supply. Any help would be great



Sure, just use one of those cheap "wall wart" bricks that puts out 12vdc.

You can buy a 12 volt regulated wall warts from jameco, just a bit more
than the unregulated model. Also small and light weight.
