How to install a 120 Volt Cooling Fan?

I know that it is not ideal, but I have to enclose some of my components in a closed cabinet due to the WAF issue. I went out to radio shack and purchased a little 120 Volt cooling fan that I plan on installing in the wall of the cabinet to allow better air circulation. I expected the fan to come with a normal 120 Volt cord and plug that would just plug into a conventional outlet, however instead it just has two skinny little wires coming out of it and I have no idea how or where to wire it to. Has anybody had any experience with this type of a fan and how to install it? Ideally it will turn on and off automatically when I turn my system on. Are there any other ideas out there for different types of fans that I can use?

You might check out the products from Active Thermal Management -- www.activethermal.com.

Their stuff seems kinda expensive for what it is, until you get it set up and running . . . they're extremely quiet. They will also spend the time with you on the phone to make sure that a particular product fits what you're trying to do, and that your installation will be done in a fashion to make it work properly.
