The fans in my Blackhawk have both a fan header and Molex connectors. If you are worried about not having enough Molex, the connectors on the fans are doublesided so you can plug a couple into each other or you could get a couple of these for manual control of your fans.

The fans can be connected via 4-pin Molex or via fan headers on the motherboard. Personally I am not a huge fan of the case, I have the standard Blackhawk and there are some questionable design choices on it. The ULTRA may be a bit better, but I'd look at a different chassis instead.

the fans will either be using the 3pin connectors that will be connected to the headers on the motherboard or they will come with molex connectors that will connect directly to your PSU. If you have to connect all of the fans to headers on your motherboard then you can get 3pin header hubs that will run on one header on the motherboard, but give you like 6-8 others that you can plug fans and other devices into.

So even if the motherboard had, say, one 3pin fan connector, I could make it split into 6?
If so, could you link me to one?
As well, by doing this, are there any negative outcomes?

If you aren't careful and pay special attention to the amperage, you will overload your headers doing this. If you really do not want to use the Molex, buy a fan controller and stick it in one of the 5.25 bays.

I'm not against using Molex connectors, as I had hoped the fans came with those as opposed to being attached to the motherboard.
What if I do not have enough Molex connectors on my PSU, though?
