You can use Y adaptors off the molex drive connectors to hook up extra fans, no problem... Get them at your local computer store.

And if you don't want to buy a splitter place your fans in a parallel setup (twist all postive wires together and all negative wires together and place them in the right outlets)... I wont daisy chain (aka place them in serie) them because fans have a different resistance which will make them run on not-normal speeds.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on :eek:
