How to tidy case fans

How do you guys tidy your case fans? When they go on to the motherboard headers it just leaves the fan wires across the motherboard

I'd like to put them running through the back of my case but I'd need 4-5 long PWM headers and not sure how that'd work

Extension cables if I'm hiding them behind the motherboard tray.

I have all my fan cables hidden behind the motherboard tray plugged into a PCB PWM splitter.That plugs into the CPU header to control all the fans at the same time.

OCuk dont sell them sadly

Search for in googles for 'Phobya pcb splitter'.They should pop up

Edit:Its only works for PWM fans,if you plug in 3 pin fans they will run at 100%

I am pretty good at hiding mine, but that fan hub looks really good!

Useful but not for hiding cables as all of them will be going to the CPU fan connector

Personally I'd go with the Phobya pwm splitter already recommended but not stocked here, as you will be able to place it anywhere in the case.

With that akasa splitter, only one wire goes to the CPU fan header, the rest you can hide behind the mobo tray. Can be a bit bulky though as I found out. Ended up buying a bay fan controller for all my case fans.

Yeah I've got a fan controller as well, cables hidden behind motherboard tray and nicely tucked away beneath the fan controller out of view
