i recently ordered 4 panaflo fans for my new antec 1000sx case but i didn't realize these came w/ the non-standard two tail pin connectors

i have 4 pin molex connectors that work with the three pin tails but they won't fit the two pins...does anyone know where i can buy something like this so that i can connect the fans directly to my psu? i don't want to put any of the fans on my mobo and well it only has one case fan connector besides the cpu fan anyways (ECS k75sa)
 
Just snip the 3 pin connector off your adapter. You should have 2 wires left. Snip the connector off your fan's wires. Then just join them up, black to black or white to black, and color to color. Use heat shrink, or if you're stuck, electrical tape. Much neater than more adapters.
 
"Currently on Backorder"... Hehehe... It's only a wire!

Anyway, I'd personally do the trick mentioned in the 2nd post. Much cheaper and works nicely... I do that to most of my fans.
 
Plycon also has those adapters, in stock as of yesterday when I checked. Those adapters actually plug directly into the panaflo's oem socket, so in a sense they are not adapters..but the actual pig tail most of us would want on them to begin with.

3 and 4 pin tails for panaflo
 
way i did it was buy a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter... then get Y adapters with 1 3pin to 2 3pins... depending on how many fans you wanna plug in...

then you go to plug the 2pin panaflo into the 3 pins you have... cept it won't go on cause of that little piece of plastic sticking out on the panaflo... if you line it up so it doesn't use the yellow wire 1 end will hit the 3 pin.. get a pliers or sissors and cut/break that thing off... then push it on and it'll snap in like a 3pin woulda.

okay, yes i know this is a real sh-tty explanation, cept in reallife its simple

I have 6 la1s in my case, all doing this and it works fine... no wire cutting/striping, all that crap. It takes bout 2 seconds in rl.
