Any electricians out there know how many 80mm computer fans can be connected to

1 12 volt ac/dc power adapter? I would like to connect 3 fans to one 12volt adapter if possible.

Should be fine. Most of the adapters are 3amps or larger for 12v output. And most 80mm fans are less than 1 amp draw (usually 0.8 amps for most "generic" ones)
