well i was wondering would it be a dumb idea to have all my case fans hooked up to one molex connector...like about 6 of them cause i can just run them in series with each other sine they all have splitters and hook them into one molex connector along with 4 80mm ccfl's or would that put too much load on one plug

    I've done that before, without a problem. Just don't run them on them on the same lead you've got your HDDs on. I usually run my case fans off of the same line as my optical drives.

    Unless these are mondo case fans they draw less than 0.5A each. No big deal.

    well they are normal case fans im worried about the ccfl's being the hazard..but thanks a lot dudes i was worried about it at first..and no they won't be off the same lead as my harddrive...i always give my hd/optical drive their own untainted power supply lol
