electrical wiring question

Wiring my PC case fans to an AC adapter that I found. The case fans are 12 V 150 mAmp each and I have two. The adapter I have will put out 12 V at 300 mAmp. So if I wired both fans to the adapter, it would be exactly 300 mAmps, is that OK? Or should I find an adapter that can handle more than 300 mAmps to give myself a little "buffer room"? Thanks.

Do you think it would be a fire hazard?

It shouldn't since it's equal to what it's rated for.But it always good practice is to be around 80% of capacity.
