Wiring a computer fan

I see that most CPU fans have some sort of 3 or 4 pin plug and run off of 12V DC. How do I mke this run off of the 120V AC coming out of my wall sockets?

A killer, you keep workin, and working, and working and they keep
taking, and taking, and taking. They'll throw you a few little crumbs
they'll give you a home, a car, a television, a vacation. Someday you
may even have a bank account that you're scared to lose.

huh? i dunno where ur gonna find a 12v battery, i mean there kinda rare and used for random things. U can use an adapter, like the cords with box ac/dc converters for random equipment, or a computer supply but they run alot of power for just a fan. go to radio shack and get a 120v ac to 12v dc converter for like 10 bucks just wire it up and plug it in.

In the most basic way i can say it, u cut both "prongs" off of the comp fan and adapter, then basically strip the wire down so you see the metal wiring and match wires correctly and electical tape it up.

Adaptor

I use AC adaptors, similar to what you would use to charge a handheld or laptop or power whatever equipment. Ive seen its what almost everybody uses for computer fans. I got them on ebay pretty cheap and you can regulate the output voltage which is a good plus because that way you can control the speed of the fans. Wiring is trivial really.

Good luck ! ...
