    nice and innovative!!

    may I know for these four fans to connect together, what is the current and voltage rating you used for your AC adapter?

    Btw, also interested with what AC\DC power you used, Maybe add pictures of the ratings?

    Using 12V 5A adapter salvaged from my DVD player.

    In you want to overkill, you can try using a PC power supply.
    It supports up to 5V 25A.

    Its too big still, even when i have a SFF's (Small Form Factor) PSU unit.
    I am currently using those AC\DC power from IDE-to-USB kits (No casing that type), they can power a normal fan but not too many and are unable to fully power my delta fan.

    I can't find my old AC adaptors for portable radios nor my Sega MegaDrive's one i think they were 13v 4a or 5a loading.
