First grow help required

[Ivlatt]

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.

Thanks for your time and reply :thumbsup:
I did a little looking around at PC grows but nobody really went into detail on how they hooked up to the mains power. So i was just enquiring.
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.

Dude i'm not getting on your case or anythin but in that thread it's mentioned like twice, that's why i posted it, to help you out man....i knew what you where asking bro If you do a search for 'pc fan' there is tons of threads on how to wire them up, but as BB said, just use a 12v adapter.

Just wish someone would help me out (see below)
