If you really want to use it you'll have to change the connector to a 3-pin fan connector or molex, here's the pin outs for all the connectors on the 360:

Sorry, multi-typo lol I meant 'the PSU shouldn't have a problem'

If you have the power on and test the + - on the molex till they're connected right the PSU should be fine (ie: won't blow), unless its crap.

they could be mounted as exhaust fans in the top of the case fairly easy if you have a dremmel. Otherwise the only thing I can think of uses cooling wise would be to use them as ram cooler.

I was actually thinking of this. What if I have one on one side of the case, an intake, and on the other side, slightly off from the intake, an exhaust? That would keep a ton of the heat in the case flowing nice and kicking a lot of the hot air out of there pretty quick.

I have two different ones, I have 3 xbox 360's. One RROD unfixable with any mods, One fail Disc Drive, One working. I took the connector off one so it is just 4 wires. 2 to each fan. How could I wire the fan(s) up to work when the computer is on. I am not worried about noise or anything like that.

It will work but they move much more air (but are louder) when they have 16v going through them.
