First grow help required
Just thinking about a computer case grow, I have a good online friend which is helping me through the stages. At first I thought it was going to be a very easy process until he explained more and I read more into it, now I have decided to wait until my setup is completed to perfection before I go and buy my seeds :thumbsup:.
My first and only question for now is, what do you people use to power your CPU fans? I understand the connection that CPU fans use are connected to the MOBO inside a computer, which are just 2 wires (positive and negative I presume).
Maybe a stupid question, but this is my first time and I am still at the basics of knowledge, I will update you all with images if I do continue to persue heaven.
Thanks if anyone can help.Ivlatt Reviewed by Ivlatt on . First grow help required Just thinking about a computer case grow, I have a good online friend which is helping me through the stages.

I looked at the link you posted, there was a great idea mentioned (which was a initial thought) although there was no reply on how they connect the cpu fans to a PSU without using the motherboard. I will look around for anymore information or guides on it, although can others also post their thoughts on if there is a way to connect a CPU fan to a PSU bypassing a motherboard.
Thanks

Use a 12V plug in adapter like the kind that are used on cell phone chargers.
