Power supply for Temp controller and fans

Hello!

Im not building a pc nor am I adding to an exiting PC. I'm a home brewer!
What I am planning on building is fermentation chiller. In order to do so, I need a temp controller and cpu fans.

After searching ebay, I've come up with this cheap temp controller http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-25-Digita...ltDomain_0&hash=item5893be1d29#ht_4470wt_1165

It powers itself using IDE Power connector. What I'm wondering is how would I connect this to an outside power source (i.e. Wall outlet) Now I know before SATA there was molex connections. Would this IDE connect to a molex power supply? If not, how would I go about connecting to a wall outlet? As well, does the temp controller normally power the fans? or, do they need their own power as well?

I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong place being that this technically doesn't deal with computers, but I'm lost and have no idea where to turn for this sort of info.

Thank you for your time, and information.

Yours Truly,

The Homebrewer!
 
It means it uses +5 and +12v to power up.
Without paper work it is hard to say about the fans, but I suspect it powers the fans.
 
Molex is just the maker of a connector.
If you have a spare computer power supply I'd use that.
Or get 2 wall warts, 1@12v and 1@5v with decent amperage and add a molex connector to them.
