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???
the ac adapter isn't putting out enough amps. I would figure min.250ma upto 500ma for each fan.
