How do you wire CPU fans?

[CowboyBud]

I plan on using two small cpu fans for a small stealth box. The Intake will be towards the bottom while the exhaust will be towards the top. My question is, how do you wire them to power? I don’t want to burn my place down or anything the likes. Also, can they run continuously? I would greatly appreciate any help.

Just use 12v+ and gnd.

I've had my exhaust fan on for 2 months, still works great.

If he hooks that shit up to 120v he's going to have problems.
