Help with fan wiring

[Mikey_B]

So i made the switch over to metal halide from led recently and went with the hamilton mh/t5 combo. I love everything about it except for 1 thing. The fans that they come with are AC voltage fans and they are loud, really loud. Like they drown out everything around.

Here's my question, I was going to order some 120mm computer fans to replace them, but they run on dc voltage. I know i'll need to convert the fans to AC somehow so i can run them.

I'm hoping someone who is good with electrical stuff can chime and point me to the right direction on what i need to order and do.

Just need a 12V "wall wart" ac/dc adapter..
You know that black brick that nearly every darn laptop/electrical device/cell phone,etc.. comes with now..

A 12V 1A ac/dc power supply is plenty..

Great! Would something like

I was looking at using replacing the 2 fans with

I can also pick up
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6...lug_to_4-Pin_Power_Connector_Cable_AD601.html and connect the 2 fans to that?

That works but your buying two pieces when you can really just go with one of these:

Plug both fans directly into it and not deal with a 120V to outlet, outlet to dual fan converter.
