Help finding a power adapter

Hi, I'm trying to find an adapter that can do a 12v to 5v (or something close to this) stepdown.

Reason is, I'm trying to slow down a pump that hooks up to a 4 pin off the 12v rail.

Any ideas where I can buy such a thing?

Thanks!
:cool:

PS: This is not for the pump in my sig.
 
Couldn't you take out the yellow wire (+12V) from the plug and put another red wire (+5V) in its place? (granted you have an unused cable tucked away in the case) Or if the pump only uses the +12V (yellow) and ground (black) , just move the red wire over and tape off the yellow.
 
Just make sure the pump doesn't use the 5V connection as well. Wouldn't want 12V feeding into the 5V line. If that's the case, pull out a red wire from another connector and you're all set. Don't forget the electrical tape.
