You could just go the easy way with the fans too... They come with a molex plug, use that one with your PC powersupply!!

I'm using an orignal Xbox, not a PC.....

ok, so get a cheap ATX power supply. u can find them for less than 20 bucks. jump two wires together to make it turn on and run without motherboard input and you are good to go

The fans will have a mAmp listing on them somewhere. Add the two up, and use a 12V wallwart/power supply of equal or greater value. Probably not hard to do at all if only two fans.

I don't see the value of buying an AT/ATX PSU for only two fans.
Zebidee:
PC power supplies should have a 'load' (ie a motherboard) attached in order to work properly & sustainably. There are ways to trick this load, but Gryhnd is right -  it is all fussy compared to getting a 12v wall-wart from your favourite cheap supplier (you might even find that you have a spare one lying around).

On the other hand, you can probably also tap into the 12v on your xbox if you are clever about it.
