One chassis fan header, two fans?

Hullo,
I recently noticed that my motherboard only comes with one chassis fan header (namely the Asus
M5A78L-M LX PLUS), while the case I am going to use is the HAF 912 and has two fans. I was wondering what could I do to make both fans work with my motherboard?
Thank you.
 
Solution
Buy a splitter. Either a PWM splitter if the fan's are 4pin or a 3 pin splitter if the fans are only 3 pin. Any PC places has them for a few bucks or you can order them online.

Look around. There are a lot of options you can go for. Splitters for 4pin PSU molex to pwm, pwm on mobo to multiple 4pwm like the one from deepcool....there's fan controllers with multi fan connectors, etc...

is it already good enough to connect only one chassis fan? I have one fan header on my MOBO too but I want to skip the mess about buying the splitter to connect two fans... I don't have a display card and I don't overclock my CPU.
