Yes make sure it is not a 12V fan first. Zargon is right. Are the wires red and black and both very skinny (less than 2mm)? Also look at the center of the fan. There should be some kind of sticker telling what voltage it is. Do you know the Radio Shack Item number (from the packaging) - if you have that number I can look it up to see what fan you have and then tell you how to hook it up.
How to install a 120 Volt Cooling Fan?
I know that it is not ideal, but I have to enclose some of my components in a closed cabinet due to the WAF issue. I went out to radio shack and purchased a little 120 Volt cooling fan that I plan on installing in the wall of the cabinet to allow better air circulation. I expected the fan to come with a normal 120 Volt cord and plug that would just plug into a conventional outlet, however instead it just has two skinny little wires coming out of it and I have no idea how or where to wire it to. Has anybody had any experience with this type of a fan and how to install it? Ideally it will turn on and off automatically when I turn my system on. Are there any other ideas out there for different types of fans that I can use?
