Need advice on where to get this cable
orchidius:
Splicing does indeed sound like the easiest option... If you you got an old powersupply laying around, you can cut off all the molex plugs you need (you'd need to buy or cut off a male-molex somewhere else though) and splice the connections as many times as you like. If you got a local computerstore that has its own repairshop (not the computercorner in wallmart...), they probrably will have some spare powersupplies, used or broken to sell/give you. That saves even more $$ (went to my computershop and they almost gave me a bagfull :p). In that scenario you would be done for somewhere around 1$ if you have to buy the male-molex online (ask in the computershop, they might have one!).
Best of luck!

How about this? Only $4.99. You could always take the bracket off. Looks like it comes off easily with screws.

I think I'll just hack the ends off, wire them in parallel, and solder/heat shrink them like savannahlion is saying. I'll still need to get a molex y splitter but I can get it at the local comp shop. thanks all! ... just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a simple cable to do this

For my visual pinball cabinet build I used an extra molex splitter, spliced it and hooked it up to a barrier strip. Then I crimped a bunch of spade connector ends to my fans and connected it neatly to the barrier strip.
