A question about PC fans

[Waxxiemann]

I am about to be adding some cooling fans to my canopy but I have no idea how to wire them up. I plan on using 3x120mm fans. Can I wire them all to one plug?

here are the fans:

You can wire them together.
Go to this post and scroll down to my reply. I gave instructions with pix on how I did mine. It is pretty far down, my third post.

This is a good place for AC/DC transformers. If you scroll down a little you see a couple different ones. The 5 watt one may be enough but I would probably opt for the 18 watt. Cheers

The only thing I am confused on in that post is; are you running all (3 in my case) speaker wires to the same point (where you cut off the end) of the DC adaptor?

Yes, just make sure each fan is turning in the right direction. If not just reverse the two wires.

Sweet, thanks for the help.

The yellow wire is the speed control. This is to allow the motherboard to monitor and control the fan's speed. Obviously we won't be doing this, so you can chop the yellow wire off at its root in the fan.
