Hey, I am building a stand to elevate my desktop tower off the ground a little, and i figured id install a few fans into it for airflow to make sure its pulling enough.
im going to use one 200mm fan, and two 120mm fans.
My question that I need help with is power supply. Imm building a fan controller into it, plugging the fans into the controller, and then getting a AC to molex adapter to power the controller.
I will link the products on amazon.

My only concern is will this work? Will it get enough power? Or is this a house fire...

Here are the fans, adapter, and fan controller, all on amazon

Thank you!!!
 
You could buy a 5v power supply some where but really I sort of did what you plan without the fans. My case has bottom fan intakes so I built a 6 inch tall open at the end box with bracing that elevates the case and has holes cut to match the fan intakes on the bottom of my case. I also put a thin filter acrossed the bottom so the dust would be easy to clean and not as much entering my case.
 
Can anyone link me a proper powersupply then? I posted one above, is that good Or a house fire for this. I'll maybe design it to better accommodate a filter. But same basic idea and power supply issue.
