On my SNES-PC I need to fit two small Laptop fans onto a normal motherboard. As best I can tell both fans are 5 amp. I was thinking I might be able to rig them both onto a normal fan hookup, but would rather not burn them both up as they are rather hard to come by, at least the style I was using.

So, if you have any ideas that you know will work, or any that you think may work, that'll be sweet.
I have a normal fan hookup available, a USB 2.0 hookup, a couple firewire hookups, and a four point hookup power cable available.

EDIT: Hooking them up to the USB power and ground works great. You can also hook them up the 3-pin fan hookups, however it seems like too much power, as the fan friggin spins when hooked up, it was humming like you wouldn't believe. But USB seems about perfect.

Thanks,
Glenn
