powering a computer fan

im trying to power a computer fan so i can have some ventilation in my spray booth (ok its tri-fold poster board on top of my desk) but any way im not close to a window and i read an aritcle that said if you use a computer fan and an airconditioning filter you can got some good and quiet ventilation. and im going to order some stuff from electronics goldmine and want to buy one. i found what i think is the right thing and i want to make sure so i dont set my model table on fire of electrocute myself.

fan
adapter

thanks

A computer fan seems a little underpowered to me. Still, it would be better than nothing. any 12 volt ac adapter (or battery) should suffice to power it. Usually the red wire will be +12v and a black wire for -12v.

I spent $1.99 at Goodwill for a desk-fan and used that.

i dont realy have the space next to my model table to do that but if the computer fan doesnt help then i could try that
