Default Power supply for leds & fans

Hi there, I recieved my moonlight led's last week (15 pcs. @ 470nm & 4500+ mcd) and still haven't decided what type of power supply to use. I also would like to run two DC fans from the same source. They will be on a reverse rotation schedule, so timer functions are of concern. Any experience with this?

I just use the wall-wart type power supplies for my DC devices. Some of them are on timers .. no problems except with some of my older DC fans.

Princess Auto can be a good place for 12VDC power supplies if you're looking for some of those.

Thanks! I'll try there. I went to Radio Shack and found a limited and pricey selection (only around 1 amp or so output).
