Ratshack is your friend. Most any 12v DC supply should do the trick.

Actually, I have no idea. I can't imagine using a conventional power supply to do it; the load would be way too light, and the power supply way overkill.

...and if so, how do you connect it to the fan? The connections are not the same. (Can you tell I'm not a DIYer? \:\)

Well, they do make those "muffin fans" in AC, I'd put as switch on the front area of your cabinet/shelf/etc. to turn it on when you're using the equipment. If you went the DC route, there would be ample opportunities to do a power take off from inside the amp or whatever--be careful and don't ruin your warranty, tho.
