Use a voltage regulator like FanMate 2 or simply use a resistor like this one:
Zalman RC56 (7V) Noiseless Resistor Cable
Zalman RC100 (5V) Noiseless Resistor Cable

There are 2 versions, 56 Ohm (7V) and 100 Ohm (5V).

You can also buy adapters that deliver 5V or 7V from a standard molex connector from your PC's PSU but you lose the ability of sending the speed sginal (rpm) to your mainboard if you connect the fan directly to the PSU.
