I know someone has one laying around they do not want.

I’m preferring free as I know I have one somewhere.

I should have been more clear. Any computer fan. I know how to turn it into USB powered. I have the USB cable preped and ready to go. I just don’t feel like driving out to elma from amherst to get my old computer to hack apart.
