I'm gonna install some sunon 80mm case fans. Should i connect it to the m/b connector or to the ps?

Does it really make a big difference? I don't think the fans draw that much power that the m/b can't handle (or am i wrong).

For the ultimate in fan toys, go with a <A HREF="http://www.overclockercafe.com/Reviews/Digital_Doc_5/" target="_new">Digital Doc5</A>. Cool stuff.

connect them to the psu.
you will be better off, and save urself the possibility of having the header on the motherboard blowing out.
plus, will put less current flowing through the motherboard.
some fans do draw a lot of current.
