Find a 12v DC (Some AC's work) power supply, they are pretty commonplace with gadgets. They usually have the really fat plugs, and it will say 12v on it. Splice the wires, connect everything up, plug it in, and your fan awaits.

Use the power supply out of a computer, works like a charm. You can also power any other small DC things you my have in your grow room with it also.
