There are two types of computers fans that I am aware of. 5vdc and 110vac (newer type). If you are using the 5vdc one, then you will need a power supply to run it. If you have a old computer you can take the one out of it. It will plug into the 110v wall plug and output 5vdc. good luck!

I don't feel as though that's a good solution. A computer doesn't move much air, the heatsinks in a computers disipate heat and then the fan cools that. If you're looking to cool the place, obviously, a computer fan wont work. Why don't you buy a small 4 - 6 inch house fan. and just have it blow around in there, that should move enough air. I found mine in the trash.
