~ Incubator Hard-wiring *Please Help* ~

You want a power supply that is 5 volt since that is what the fan calls for.
The milliamp (mA) you want as high as you can get, like suggested above 2.0 would be just fine.

Also make sure that AC or DC is correct, if it's a DC fan you need DC output on the transformer.
Most are DC, but that doesn't mean they all are, I've run into both.

Thank You!

Went and searched earlier. Found an unused power supply reading 5V DC and .7mA
I figure GREAT! because its perfect...right?

Did the wiring and all...and now its running well, good air flow from the four fans.

Power Supply: 5V DC @ .7mA
4 Fans Combined: 5V DC & .5mA

I did what you said and found a power supply with the same DC voltage or a little higher and an AMP that is higher as well. Better with some excess rather than short...if so...I've done it!!!

Im good to go now right?

Not really....
You didn't put the eggs in yet.

I put one 80mm PC fan in my little giant and it works very well. I used a 9v power supply becuase the 12v it called for ran it far to hard it seemed. I couldent get the temp below 101* with the 12v supply hooked up. Changed to a 9v and it runs perfectly. Never encountered that befor. The 9v seems to run it just right.
