Hey guys,

I have this 400w power supply inside my CPU and it has 2 sata power cables (one already connected to HDD and other one to DVD ROM) and only one white cable is remaining for connecting anything extra cabinet fan.

All I need is to install at least two or three cabinet fans for cooling purpose. what should I do?

Case fans take very little power. You can safely daisy chain several of them to the same psu power lead.
Most will come with a dual molex connectors that allow you to string several together much like a string of Christmas lights.

Thank you very much everyone, I am a newbie and between these couple of days I searched a lot before a buying the fan but hey finally I able to install 3 fans on just one power molex connector. special thanks to 'geofelt' who suggested 'daisy chain' option for cabinet fans, I tried that and it worked for me :)
