USB Charger:

The one I used (it shows input voltage in which is nice) https://www.banggood.com/custlink/GvKGyonj7o
but you can find them here as well: https://www.amazon.com/EAGWELL-Universal-Regulated-Switching-Computer/dp/B01IOK5FM0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=26ACI6XKR8ZMH&keywords=24v+power+supply&qid=1555476704&s=gateway&sprefix=24v+power,aps,202&sr=8-4&linkCode=sl1&tag=dlqfpv-20&linkId=f607a72cfeea039948f8569d70c113d9&language=en_US

But any 60mm fan would work. One with 2 wires instead of three makes it easier to wire.
