Quick Question:
Thank you all for the responses.. After great consideration from all of the feedback I wanted to give an update...
I ended up taking 2 stems from my plant and wired it straight into my butthole..
I then took my fan and planted it fox farm ocean ass with 300% sstrength on every nutrient known to man and plant..
I'm hoping to yield at least 3 pounds of swamp ass?

Thanks guys..

Quick Question guys..
The fan has now went from a simple PC fan to a full fledge industrial fan..
Growth: great
Smell: none
Swamp ass: here
The smell is no longer there. I am 10 minutes into the flowering stage of swamp ass?

Quick Question:
Instead of looking into an HPS light or any of those other complicated high energy lights that nobody knows how to use.. I finally wired 627 cfl bulbs for my plant... No not 627w...
627 actual cfl bulbs..
I didn't know how to build a grow cab or wire these PC fans so I basically took down every wall in my home, took out all the furniture, and placed 627 cfl bulbs over my plant.. This was before I added 1400 more for no reason outside of the grow room?
Any ideas?

wtf I'm guessing you smoked some good shit recently 0.o.
As for the top question yes that can power the 2 pc fans just fine. I have a 9v plug that
runs 2 pc fans perfectly. The fans are rated at 12v but the 9v works plenty.
Just make sure the connection is nice and moisture proof.
I soldered mine in parallel with the plug wire, covered in electrical tape and then covered
with duct tape for good measure.

Finally!! Thank you!!

Next quick question.. Do you mount the PC fans inside or outside of the cab.. If so why not?

You can have them inside or outside, it doesn't really mater.
What does matter is that you have one fan at/near the bottom blowing air into the grow area
and the other fan at/near the top blowing air out of the grow area.
This will create good airflow and then you can connect a carbon air scrubber to top exhaust fan.

On my set up I have the fans inside the grow area and have light traps on the fan ports on the outside.
I use the light traps to keep light in during veg and light out during flower.
If you want to know how to make your own light trap check out this vid:
 
Please only answer if you can help and know what you are talking about. Thanks in advance

Can I use this power cord to control 2 of these fans?
Hi mate, you would be better off trying to get you/r hands on one or 2 of these http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Tatco-Ac-Adapter-110-V-Ac-220-V-Ac-Input-Voltage-500-Ma-Output-tco16300-/331135238806?pt=Laptop_Adapters_Chargers&hash=item4d1932c296 that way you can control the speed of you'r fan where as in you'r pic u have a 12 volt adapter in you'r hand which is the fastest and if you only have small pc fans will make a lot of noise when she spins (even with an 120mm pc fan will make quite a lot of noise as well. If you are using pc fans for the grow for your exhaust get the biggest one that you can find which is around 120 mm.. What will you be growing in a tent/wardrobe? If it's a wardrobe then you will never need to use pc fans for intake just put lots of holes around the sides near at the bottom.

I've wired up plenty of PC fans.

At one point I had 10 of them rated at around 25cfm each, 5 in and 5 out. Each bank of five were wired to 1x 12v 1000mA adaptor similar to yours.

Ive also used some really good PC fans. AKASA APACHE PWM and AKASA VIPER PWM. Both 120mm.

Once wired up you can switch them to a lower speed using the yellow wire attached to the positive wire.

I had the viper as exhaust 86cfm and the apache as intake 55cfm running a 2x3x4 homemade mother and cloning box with a 200w ENVIRO CFL.
