my 13 year old son and I are building a budget gaming computer. He has requested the Sentey 6000R case. it comes with 4 fans and a built in fan controller. My question is, how do I control and power all of these fans? They all appear to have Molex connectors. I dont know a whole lot about building computers but this is what I currently have in mind. Please let me know if something isnt right.
Also, I did hear that I could either get Molex adapter plugs and/or splice two or more fans into one power plug. is this doable and if so, is it safe??

Here is my build list http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fQWCgs

Sounds like the fan knob on the front of the case is used to only control one of the fans. the other molex connectors are for powering the fans via the PSU. This means you wont have speed control for those. unless there are the small 4 pin connectors that can plug into the MOBO or to an after market fan controller (its possible you can manage them with a software application as well), you wont have control of them. there is another thread about this HERE
