Need advice on where to get this cable
ninjasquirrel:
I need to find a cable that will power 4 case fans from 1 molex connector (4 pin molex to 4- 3pin fans)
Where could I find one of these at a good price?
I found this and it will work, just wondered if there was a cheaper solution...like the cable

Or I could go for a fan controller-a rheobus but they are still around $20
Any suggestions?

Why not just use three of these:

cheaper than 13 bucks?!
seriously????
cheaper as in hack all the wires off and tape them together and plug them into one???
13 bucks?? sorry, but even i think 13 bucks is cheap.

;D yeah I know I'm a cheap :censored:
the thing is I would have to buy extensions if I bought the multi-port I listed for most of the fans because of the placement of them...so after those and shipping etc I'm looking at over $20-$30
I was just thinking I could find a $3 cable to do what I'm thinking without all the money, hacking, and duck tape
I still might actually mcguyver it somehow though if I need to.

Uh... For something like that, the only reason I would even consider spending money on that kind of thing is if the guts are exposed, eg a case mod of some sort.
For something like that, it's a simple splice job. It would probably take more time to heat up the soldering iron than it would to splice, solder, shrink the tubing and wrap the whole thing to look nice.
