So get some splitters dude

Plug them into the mobo? There should be some small 3 pin connectors.

If not, and to keep it simple, do what huesmann said and get some splitters.

You can get all you need at SVC.COM
these items are also available at compusa, but they are severly overpriced.

Normally a case fan would have a splitter that lets you plug the fan into your hard drive and then the power connector into the other side so you don't end up using more power connectors.

what kind of splitters exactly do i need and how many can i plug into mobo thru splitting be4 i blow up my computeR?

Most case fans have pass-through connectors, which you plug in one end to the PSU, and the other end to the HDD, CDRW, etc. Then, there are 2 wires coming off of this connector going to the fan. I wouldn't recommend hooking up too many fans to the mobo because you can fry something (I think they're called headers).
