The PSU has or should have several 4 pin molex power connectors that look like this :

just connect the fan's connector to the PSU's connector and your done..

Those 2 links above give ya an idea of what can be found on specialty sites.....find what ya need on the frozenCPU site and then try to find someone selling it on your side of the pond

80mm case fan ? in the bin would be best. The smaller the fan the higher it spins and more noise it makes

if you have a 3pin fan then you will need the adapter that Jack suggested, the first link shows a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter, connect the fan to the 3 pin and the large molex connector to the PSU.
