From Canada's equivelent of radio shack i bought an adjustable volts charger(5,7,9, and 12) allowing me to control the speed of my 7 computer fans. It runs at 2500 mA so you can hook up alot of fans. It was 40 bucks, a bit pricey but it has served me very well for a year now so I am very happy with the price. Sorry but I don't have a link. Happy growing.

I bought that fan for my micro cab. I have it hooked up to a cell phone charger now but the output on that is only 5V. Whats out there to be recycled that puts out 12V? Is there anything I can just buy that will allow me to control the speed? I have like 8 different types of adapters but they all have out puts less than 9V.

You want this my friend

http://www.amazon.com/Power-Line-0900-77A-1300-mA-Charging/dp/B000QFLWAG/ref=pd_sim_ol_1

the voltage regulator acts as fan speed control.

It comes in 600 and 1300ma versions so based on your fans power draw you can save a dollar or so. Walmart also carries these for a few bucks more then amazon.

Thank you all for your responses. Enclaved that is what I need, I actually even have one somewhere, back home from my childhood electric keyboard. I just for the life of me could not think of a solution, thanks for the link. I will probably just buy one at walmart. One more question. My fan has aluminum wires does it matter if the adapter is copper or aluminum.?
