OK, so I built a kegerator out of the Sanyo 4912. I am adding the PC fan to blow some cool air into the tower. The fan is rated at 12v .25a and the power adapter is 12v 1000mA. I am only hooking up the 1 fan. Will that be a problem? I know using a power adapter rated for 1000mA I should be able to power 4 fans at 250 mA, but I am not sure if I am over doing it or creating a safety hazard by over doing it like this.

Sorry for my ignorance, I know little to nothing about electrical work. Just want to do it safe. Thanks.
 
1 amp = 1000ma. Some companies label stuff weird. I cannot concieve of a situation in which you could have a problem.
