Alright....

Ok m8, the type of connector you have is a standard 4 pin MOLEX connector.
Im assuming that one end of your cable can plug into the other. (Male on one end, and Female on the Other.)

If you have more of these fans, or you have a good source to get them, I highly reccomend sticking with them. If you buy a simple standard AT power supply for a computer your fans will just plug right into it no problem. No adapters for the fan needed.


Two things you will have watch are:

You might have to get an adapter so our 3-pronged plugs will fit your outlets....(very cheap and easy to find)
You will want to check the voltage selection on the back of the power supply....(As a general rule of thumb start on 220, if it is able to be turned on and works fine leave it there... But if you turn it on and nothing happens, then switch it to 110.)



You can get an AT power supply for almost nothing, check your local computer stores, they will usually have old pieces laying around...

Or

You can pay anywhere from $.01 to $10 on ebay and get one that will suit your needs just fine.


If you have any other questions feel free.
