Hi All,
I'm currently building my HTPC with the following relevant components:
Case - Silverstone GD05
MOB - Asus P8H67-M EVO
PSU - Enermax Modu87+ 500W
I have only 1xChassis Fan connector on my MOB (uATX) but I have 3 Chassis fans ... where should I connect them?

I had a similar issue.

I went to microcenter and found a connector that was molex on one side and the other was either 3 or 4 fan connectors.

Look at these. You may want to price check at some other places, i was just finding them for an example.

Well, I've found a connector like this in my GD05 case accessories and connected 1 fan, another one fan to the chassis fan controller and another one to the PWR_FAN, is it ok?

That should be fine. Hell, if you had the right "Y" connector, you could probably run two fans from one motherboard fan header with no problems.
The fan connected to the PSU's "molex" connector won't be controllable by motherboard or any software such as speedfan.
