200mm Fans

Ok I have an Antec mini P180 case, and would like to figure out some way to have mobo control of the fans. Is their a molex to 3pin fan header so I can attach it to my mobo. The 120mm fan is easy enough to swap out, but 200mm fans are not that common. If not I guess I will switch the 5 and 12 volt pins on the molex connectors.

well yes you can get a converter, but it's possible you won't be able to control the fan speed... depends on the mobo header and bios more than anything

Also, be careful about attaching large fans to your motherboard. Higher speed fans do draw a fair amount of current, and could potentially damage your motherboard, which is one of the reasons many of those fans don't have motherboard connectors apart from a speed sensor.
