put the 4 fans in parallel. Add up all the fan's current rating and get a AC adaptor which can supply the total current. I believe computer fans are all 12V, so your adaptor has to be 12V.

There are many choice of ac adaptor available and should not be more than $10.

Just watch the total amperage. If the transformer you get is too small, you may not be able to drive the fans if the amperage load is too high.

so does that mean it will work as long as the amp of the adapter is higher than the total amp of all my fans even if the amp of the adapter is a few hundreds amp???

"a few hundreds amp???"

I don't think the DC adaptor can supply a few hundreds amps, more like mA (milliAmpere)

I think the most affordable transformer is those with max 1000mA output, any higher than that .. you need to get a AC to DC source transformer which cost a few hundreds
