I have the following fans
 
4 side  
1 rear
1 front
1 top
 
My fan sunbeam rheobus extreme 6 fan controller will be running 6 of these
 
1) what fan should i not connect to this fan controller?
 
2) some of the power cords for the fans i installed are too short to reach the fan controller, the controller came with a few extension cords, but i'm confused on why one of them splits from one to two connectors...
 
the manual doesnt really tell me what extension cords are what so can anyone help ? i figured out a couple of them but just double check i have it right...

As for question 1, i would personally 'bodge' the rear an top fan together. Connect the Rear to the bottom of the tops wires then plug that into the controller. Both will be controlled as one:).

 

Question 2  i think can be answered by saying you can link your fans power by tapping off the HDD or Optical drives 4 pin molex.
