Im doing a project right now and i want to add a case fan to it with a battery. How many volts do i need to at least get it moving? Also i may in turn use a 8cm case fan in case 12 is too big for what i need.

At least 5 volts, I believe. Don't go over 12 volts.

That depends on the fan you're using. Most will start running at around 5V+

Fan overvolting can be much fun

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
