I am getting 3 new case fans, but here's my problem: the fans I want have 4 pin floppy plugs and my PSU only supports 1 4 pin floppy. My MOBO has a single 3 pin floppy plugin. My case can support 2 120mms (front bottom and back) and a top back fan that can be 140 or 120, the 140mm I MIGHT get would have a 3 pin floppy connector. That still leaves 2 (or 3 if I don't want the 140mm) 4 pin floppys but only 1 4 pins connector on my PSU. and the PSU's 4-pin is a male which is a problem since I need a female plugin. Is there some adapter I can get to get around this?

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153166

120mm: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103192

140mm: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709024

I also need some advice on fan airflow setup within the case, but that comes second.

You're probably right about my terminology, I was going off of other posts I have read. I think I found what I need: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_73&products_id=17923&zenid=de90345596b62af4ea77e0652c63c6c2 . Is it safe to split 1 molex into 3 fans? That's my only worry.

Well that's what video reviews and the specifications say on newegg. The 140mm are 3 pin, the 120s are 4 pin. Some fans are 4 pin now.
