Long time reader of this forum and I finally have a reason to post. I recently started watercooling and I am now hooked. I started simple with a Maze3, BIX and Via Aqua 1300 closed loop setup. but I am already yearning for bigger and better. First thing I am going to do is upgrade the BIX to a nice large heatercore which leads me to my question. I was going to use the Comair Rotron 172mm fan that caseect.com sells but when looking for a better price I ran across these for $2.95:

http://www.mpja.com/product.asp?product=13243+FN

For that price I gambled and bought 5 of them since there is a minimum $15 purchase there. Now since they are 24v I am wondering if they will run at 12v just by wiring and hooking them up to a molex connector. If they do run then any idea what the 205 CFM would drop too?
