Check this post from Ian's blog, you can see where the 12V is on the board.

Re: Arduino fans

If you look where the LEDs and Extruder fan plug in between the motor drivers, there is one more set of pins between the next pair of drivers.  You can add headers there if there aren't already and power the fan there.

I wired those up to a separate power source.  And everything for the printer plugs into one power strip.
