PC fan wiring

I'm going to install some PC fans in my hood as my tank temp is getting quite high. Can I just use a basic lamp plug? I thought I remembered reading a post where a large cell phone type plug is required? Any help would be appreciated....

the fans are computer fans. I think I have a 12volt transformer I will try to wire it tonight. I guess the worst that could happen is that it will not run on 12V.
 
All you need to do is find a 12vc DC transformer and splice the wires into the two wires on the pc fan. Most fans operate on a couple hundred maH and require a little more to startup initially, so if you have a 1.0 amp transformer you should be able to run 3 fans no problem.
