Is it possible to use the standard 4 pin molex to run muliple fans off one connection. If so can I also run multiple fans and a dvdrom with a single molex. My old psu went boom and my new cheap one (college expenses keep it tight) only has 2 4 pin molexes and 3 sata cables. All sata cables are occupied with my 3 hard drives. I have, lol, 5 fans needing a molex connections and 2 PATA dvd drives requiring molex connections.
500W stealthxstream psu.
Thx in advance.

Fans and drives do not use much power. Go ahead and connect them.
