I'm looking into PC fans for my canopy/stand. All the ones I see have the 3pin connector. I'm been searching for some sort of adapter to plug them into a socket but I'm not having luck. Or do you just wire them to a regular plug?

Are they DC fans? if so, you'll only use two wires. You'll need a Fan Adapter which can be purchased online, Micro Center or Fry Electronics. You can connect the Fans in series, all you need to do if verify the max amps on the total number of fans and make sure you don't exceed the adapter total amps. You can find the numbers on the fans and Adapter.HiImSean;905203 wrote: I'm looking into PC fans for my canopy/stand. All the ones I see have the 3pin connector.
