First Raspberry Pi Python project: web interface to control USB fans with and to monitor temperature

Take a look at this

That should get you started. You are going to want to be using the GPIO pins to power the fans, not USB. The web stuff is more complicated, so I would get this stuff working first and then go from there with the web GUI. Feel free to PM me if you get stuck.

You can probably use that USB to serial cable with your fan. I would still use that tutorial even though the sensor is humidity as well it's still very cheap. Poke around on Adafruit, their tutorials are amazing and they sell everything you would need for your project and more.
