If you have a fan from a power supply and you want to take it out and use it as a case fan you can.
You might have to put the proper connector or something on it. Otherwise it should be fine.

Korda,

Whats color are the wires coming off your fan. They should be one black and one red.
If you can, run them off a molex connector if you have the extra wiring and experience to rewire it. Make sure to solder the connections if you can to ensure properly making the connection.
There are 3 to 4 wire connectors, with an aux yellow/rpm wire that you can purchase for $2.99 from most computer stores.....

Chez:cheers:
