Case fan queery

My Mobo only has 1x 3pin fan connector and 1x4 fan connector free. I've just bought a TSA which will take up the 1x3 pin (current cpu fan is in the other 1x3), Is there anyway to get more case fans even though I only have 1 connector free?

(yes I spelt the title wrong

)

Fan cable splitter... as such:

Could also use the Molex adapter that comes with a lot of fans to power the fans via molex.

Case fans often come with a 3pin to molex connector so you can plug them right into your PSU. They will run at full RPM though so I recommend a fan controller if you're having lots.

Well that was easy, Thanks both of you. I had no idea what a Molex was, Simple now to think off it.
