would the easiest way be to solder the plug from the pc power supply to the dc adapter & then use y-adapters for all the fans???? that way if the dc adapter goes bad, it's just a matter of soldering a new one to that one end rather than all the fan wires??
i found an adapter from an old dsl modem i had laying around. the end says:
AC/DC Adapter
Input: 120v ~60Hz 230mA MAX
Output: 12v 800mA
will that work with
This package of fans i am looking to buy for this lil project??
**edit** looks like each fan has a male & female end for wiring each in line, so i guess i'd just need the end from a junk pc power supply to solder to the dc adapter......so would the ac/dc adapter i posted above in this post be more than enought to power these (15) fans???
