Laptop Fan

You need to match the fans voltage with the “output” voltage of an AC Adapter. The AC Adapter also needs an amperage rating equal to or higher than the fan. Most computer case fans have a sticker that shows the voltage and amperage.

Those little fans work great. Best thing to do is to use an old cigar box to mount it to. If you have two fans you could do a push pull fashion. Only having one fan you could just cut a hole on one side for a breather?

Those little buggers vibrate a lot and tend to fall over and move around a lot when they are not mounted to something.

You need the RIGHT AC adapter. But yeah, that's it, just a way to get DC voltage to the fan.
