Will this work to power 4 case fans?

i am new to case fans and wiring them up correctly. im looking for power supplys but im not sure which type to get. will this one work?

it should, im using one from an old modem i dont use anymore. Has the same kinda plug.

awesome thanks so much.. theyre only 9 bucks on ebay let me know if anyone needs the link

most case fans are 12volts so using a 19 volts is not a good idea, if you want to power your 4 fans with that it will not be enough power max 2 fans with that power supply. i currently have my 12volt fan hooked up to 9.6 volts and it turns like crazy

I have 2 led case fans hooked to a 10v and it works perfectly

thanks everyone for your input. looks like ill need 2X power supplys and ill just run 2 fans per supply.. thanks again

I have 4 case fans running off a small 120vac/12vdc transformer into a bridge. Cost you about $6.00 for them at any decent electronics store. Just solder the ac leads on the transformer to any 2-wire power cord, then the dc to the bridge, then the polarized (+/-) outs on the bridge to the pos/neg on the fans.

You can also find used pc fans of all sizes for $.50 at these electronics stores (again, it has to be a good shop, not Radio Shack).

Anyways, I'm rambling (and stoned). Just thought I'd throw out an alternate idea

hey did all you guys hook up your fans in series or in parallel

uhhh fuck yeah it matters, if you hook up 3 12v fans in series to a 10v supply your going to have problems

doesnt it effect which way the blades spin too?

that doesnt matter u could always just turn it around to make the flow of wind go in the direction u want it.

ahhh smart one you are

oh and if parralell lets say for example its a 10v dc 2 fans would both get 10v and work at full speed if it was series though each would get 5v and run at half speed

much love peace
