The computer fan has a red and black wire, probally a yellow, this one controls the speed on the comp. You don't need to worry about it. Cut the red and black wires and connect the red wire to the stripped black adpater wire and connect the black fan wire to the black adapter wire. Depeding on the adapter you bought (if its a good one) you can have a shit load of fans with the one adapter without compromising the speed.

Make sure you use the proper DC adapter. If you plug it straight into the wall, it's going to blow up.

What i would do is take a trip to Good-Will, Value Village or some other second hand store and look around the electronics section for a 12v power adapter. I can usually find them for about 2 bucks. If you can't find one there I would go over to Radio Shack and grab one. Then all you do is take the wire that comes out of it, cut off the plug at the end, and wire the red wire to the wire that has a white stripe on it. If the wire isnt red or has no stripe look for something distinguishing, this is usually the positive. If you want to go all out you could take your adaptor in to radio shack and get the female connector that fits it and wire that in so you can plug your fan in without moving the adaptor or fan. Well hope that helps

To do that it needs to be in parallel.

I took electronics and engineering at school.

I got all my fans and adapters from goodwill

Go to Radio Shack and they'll show you exactly what you need to have and what you need to do. If they show you something that you don't already have, then buy it and use it.
