You'll need some 4-pin fan splitters. Each motherboard header can supply 1 AMP, so you can add as many fans as you want as long as you stay below 1 AMP per header.

You could
1. Plug fans directly to the PSU. Most fans will come with an adapter. However this way the fans will run pretty much full speed all the time.
2. Use fan splitters. However the amount of power the motherboard can supply is limited so be careful
3. Use a pwm fan hub. This is probably the best way as it will allow the motherboard to control fan speeds without the risk of overloading it.
