Molex to 3 pin adapter. This one has a connection to attach to your motherboard for RPM sensing, but you don't need to attach that to anything if you don't want to. Some boards need the RPM signal for the CPU fan though.

another one

They should carry it. If they don't, they should heh.

EDIT: Just looked on their website for a few minutes with no luck. Often stores will have different items than their websites though.

Yeah, with just 12v you can hack it yourself.

The projector is an Infocus 4805. 🙂
