lots of threads here about using cell phone chargers. They work.

Yup just strip the wires of both (cell phone charger and fan)

Black goes to black and red goes to red.

(the extra wire on the fan just supplies information to the mobo. So don't worry about it. )

Very easy.

Just be sure that the cellphone charger doesn't exceed voltage of the fan.

you should use a 12V DC power adaptor. Cellphone chargers are usually 5V the fan will fry the charger.
