"Y" fan connectors?``

My new Lian Li case has five (5) fans two each of which are paired, and my motherboard has just 2 fan connectors other than the CPU fan and these are four pin connectors ( not that that matters).

I would like the motherboard to control the fan speeds but don't have enough connections for five fans. If there was such a thing as a "Y" fan connector I could get a couple of them and connect the front case fans and the top case fans. I would leave the rear case exhaust fan connected directly to the power supply. As an aside, my previous power supply that the old case (and my wife) inherits had speed controlled fan connections on the power supply along with modular fan connection cords. Power supply temperature controlled fan speeds.

Any way ---does there exist "Y" fan connectors?

Just looked further down the page and found what I'm looking for in Europe. Who carries such items here in the U.S.?

jchu14 - well done! - fan cables ordered and on thier way (tomorrow). Got one 3 pin extension for the top fans to reach the bottom of the motherboard, and two 3 pin "y's" for when the cables reach the board connector. Front fan cables right at the left edge of the motherboard. Thanks again.
