Why (guesses fish tank cooling)? OK not sure if this is quite what you want, but you can by a multi (4) port mains powered USB hub and run up to 4 fans off that. That's probably the easiest.
If my guess is right, have a look in Lidl - they did 12V car fans for peanuts recently and you can pick up various transformers to mess with from Maplin.
