    Where can i buy an adaptor so i can use my normal ac/dc adaptor to connect to my 3 pin computer fan?

    A computer PSU is a bit too dangerous for me.. for many reasons..

    a bit something like this.. but this one is "in built".

    Actually you can try all the appliances shop. I'm sure LFS should have one. How about Sim Lim Square?

    Kind of figured somewhere was sure to sell..

    But finding a piece of equipment that tiny among so many shops is a bit of a pain..

    Was looking for pointers..

    Cheers.

    but the PSU has to be running for the power to be distributed to the computer fan...

    Yes. They should have it there. Plus the PC fans as well.

    I got mine at Sungei Road. There's loads of them piled up everywhere. Just get a few good looking ones. I bought 3 from there (~ $2 each ) and all are working - luckily. I chose those that can go up to 1 A (12v) so I can connect more fans. They also have PC fans if you ask around. Try your luck and have fun in the DIY.
