i won 4 enermax ur vegas fans frm ocuk (whooop thank you!!) the problem being that they are 5v usb fans, i hadn't realised this until after winning lol. as i want to use them as internal case fans i had thought of just pushing the usb's through the w/c grommets and plugging them in the back of the mobo. i hadn't realised they would still be powered 24/7 even when the computer was powered down lol.
would i be safe to cut the usb off and wire it to the 5v connection on my psu molex, would it be possible to wire 2 off the same molex connection. i know very little on electronics so thought id ask in here 1st before setting my house on fire lol
 
Yes it'll be fine. You could hook up loads of fans to a single Molex as they have several amps of current carrying capacity.
