    Doesn't everyone have an old pos computer in the garage or closet. I would totally recycle something(including a cell phone charger) to do something like this. Power supplies(cell phone charger is a p/s) don't push amps. They "supply" up to what they are rated. The wiring and jack will be able to handle more than the supply and the supply should pop a fuse when it exceeds it's rating. So fire hazard wouldn't be a problem. Hells yeah on the xbox fans. EVERYONE seems to have a dead 360 these days. Mine recently f'd up again(I did the xclamp mod to fix it the first time). I'm just going to get an arcade and put my drive on it. Recycle. Stay green!

    kewl thanks would radio shack be the place to go?

    Check this link out, it's to a site where I found the fans to be really cheap pricewise, I've been running them twenty four seven and this is my second grow using them, so they are very dependable. This is what I bought...http://buyextras.com/bsun12balbea.html

    I then went to a thrift store and bought two twelve volt chargers for a buck a piece. Cut the wire close to where it connects to a device, not near the charger end, leaving yourself plenty of cord. Strip the two wires and connect them to the two fan wires, you're in business.
