Then you just match the wires and plug it in.

CAUTION!!!!!

Do not connect your computer fans directly to 120 VAC household current.

Most computer fans are 12VDC. You will need to get an AC adapter to convert your household current from AC to DC.

Here's a link to an example.

The unit shown has adjustable voltage from 3-12 VDC. The fan will run at full speed @ 12 volts and slower as the voltage is reduced. We are using some similar to this, but we use only the 12 volt selection.

I recommend that you choose a unit that has an output amperage exceeding your fan's required input amperage by at least 25%. Don't worry if the unit you choose has an amperage output greater than your fans input requirement. It will not hurt your fan.

If you have more than one fan, you can use multiple AC adapters or you can use one AC adapter as long as the total required input amperage of the fans doesn't exceed the AC adapter's output amperage. As before it would be best if the output amperage exceeded the total required input amperage by at least 25%.
