PC Fan Power Supply

I found a site with power cords for PC Fans: Dayton Blowers: REPLACEMENT 6' POWER CORD FOR AXIAL FAN [736913] - Fans, Blowers & Ducting - Environmental Control - Discount Specialty Farm, Greenhouse & Garden Supply Store - Horticulture Source .

Box Layout: Flower Chamber - 3' x 3' x 6', Mother Chamber - 1.5' x 3' x 4', Clones Chamber - 1.5' x 3' x 2'.

The only reason I had not planned to do PC fans was the power cord for them as I read that while it is easy to wire something like an old car charger cord to a PC fan that running it using that cord for long periods of time is not safe. Think a power supply like in that link would do the trick? If so, I could probably get a way with using a 6" PC fan to vent the mother chamber and a 4" PC fan to vent the clone chamber and was going to use 2 of the 6" Duct Fans( High Tech Garden Supply ) to exhaust the flower chamber with passive intakes on all 3 chambers. What do you think? Is this power cord safe for PC fans or is there another safe setup that can run long periods of time with no electrical problems?

I just hook mine up to a good car battery and then charge it when needed and the battery lasts a good few weeks before it needs recharging and thats with 4 6inch fans
