Wang: your first step is going to be to determine if you can run that fan at 5 volts. In your case, you've got some extra wiring to sort out first.
If you have a multimeter, you've got an easy way to sort it out. I would recomend using the 5 volt line and this blower by itself (i.e. pull the PSU out of the PC). You won't be able to do the 7 volt trick here, because you have to have a load on the 5 volt line for the trick to work.
A picture would be very helpful, but a description would otherwise have to do. Just remember that we can't see it, so describe it any way you can.

Sorry to resurrect... I just got hold of a digicam.
I was thinking of just hooking the 5v or 12v up to the motor,
bypassing the relay.
Does anyone see any potential snags to hooking-up from the PS to the motor?
Another idea is: to use my Volcano 7+ fan-speed switch, to
regulate the blower speed. high-low-med Would this work?
Thanx for any nuggets!
ps I hope the img links work....
